This is a gift for my husband who is gaining and losing weight depending on how much he exercises. I got tired of him complaining about how his straps fit so I went ahead and ordered this for him. He loves to! The leather quality is really very good and the buckle works exactly as advertised. Ratchet. Also, it looks very fancy and nobody knows that it is a ratchet buckle. This is a really great product and the seller is great too. It also comes in a great box.
