My husband works in law enforcement agencies. He really likes these belts. We just ordered a second batch. Qualitatively, they only serve him about 3-5 months, which is why I only give 4 stars. But what do you expect for $13? We are generally satisfied with the product. I will continue to order them again and again. Khabs says they are way better than metal buckles and velcro because they really stay in place!
