I've been looking for belts for a long time and I usually always buy leather ones. but they break and lose their shape, quickly wear out, crack. etc. You know the deal because you went through it. These belts. Damn comfortable, I've been using them longer than the last leather belt and as long as they don't wear out and there are 2 different ways to take them off. Easy to take off, easy to fasten or tie. faster release when you really need to pee, easy to lose if you overeat lol. I absolutely love these belts. and unbeatable for the price. I would buy 100 just to have them but. I don't think I'll need it for quite a while. Love it!
