I'm a tall guy who has always struggled to find the right belts. Stores typically have up to 52 inches that fit in the first notch but are uncomfortable and tight. it's a little down to get the perfect fit. The ratchet strap was a little bothersome but proved reliable and didn't have any failures as a result. Would buy him again. I might buy another pair just to have. I wish it was offered in other colors like brown-grey.
