This strap could easily have gotten 5 stars if it was the right size. I have a waist size of 34 so I would use a large size 36 belt according to their chart. As you can see from my photos, the strap is way too big. The closure strap sits in the center alongside the other 36 straps, which are just the right length for a 34-inch waist. I would send the belt back, but there are already two extra holes drilled in it and it's still a bit big. Too bad it's a really good belt especially if you're vegan.
