The metal loop tore after the 5th light use, became unusable (belt does not hold). Columbia is supposed to be an outdoor activities brand and I wanted to take them on a real hike. But the 5th time I put it on - always light use, no active use yet (no hiking or anything yet), it broke (see photo). It's basically been sitting in my closet for a couple of years with 1 or 2 uses a year so that's really an issue. A complete junk, shame on Columbia - so glad it broke before the actual ride otherwise I'd be stuck on any hike without a harness.
