These straps are fully adjustable so they are always snug but never too tight. I kinda guessed that a strap that stretches means it stretches slightly and leaves me hanging. No, that is not so. It only stretches a little so it never sags. It also has a very nice movable loop, which is great because if your belt doesn't reach the nearest loop on your pants, it will always reach the loop built into the belt. So three great features: a ratchet buckle, slightly stretchy braided nylon, and a movable belt loop. Update: I'm deducting a star now. The end of the belt is badly worn due to being pinched by the belt buckle. The tip needs extra protection. I didn't have this problem with ratchet leather straps.
