When I received this belt I was impressed with the quality of the buckle. The tape material itself is very durable. Then I saw the belt was XL and I didn't remember ordering XL. Find out what I didn't do as there is no way to order a specific size on eBay. I'm an average height person and I'm not happy with the many belts I have to hide. This is the first and hopefully last time I'll be disappointed with a 5.11 purchase.
