First of all I understand why so many people love these belts. They are very unique, versatile, comfortable, beautiful, practical and durable. I got one of these to cover two uses of wearing a belt. water and travel. I am an avid kayaker and paddleboarder. As I have a small waist I am used to wearing a belt with almost all trousers and shorts. I kayak and kayak in quick dry shorts. I need a belt that can get completely wet and doesn't stretch or stain my clothes (like leather). Also, I don't like buckling up at airports. It's just another thing to mess around with when going through the rushed airport security line. I love that this strap can be cut to any length for a custom fit. I just used a utility knife and metal ruler and voila. It suits me perfectly! I'm pretty sure I'll have more C4 belts in the future.
