This is a really good belt. I have a 34 inch waist and it was easy to trim the length. Since I already have similar ratchet straps I just used one of these as a guide. The buckle is easy to close and looks great. Ratchet release button. It's easy to find and simple to click. I like the look and durability. Aside from the possibility of back sagging if I don't switch sides from time to time, these straps last forever. It's also great for tightening them up throughout the day.
