I'm on a diet and needed a belt that could (hopefully) shrink with me. I made 3 holes in my regular belt and it got too long. I tried the military style webbing but found it couldn't stay tight enough and still came loose when I needed it. This one is easy to open, easy to adjust, also holds a flashlight and other things I tie to my belt at work. The fur is so thick that I sometimes have a hard time threading it through the buckle a second time.
