*TO UPDATE*. It's broken. Like everything on ebay, the plastic is holding the strap to the metal, how silly. Belt. Always. hands down I missed it too many times before I pulled the trigger. Significantly lighter and thinner than any other tactical strap, with a beautifully milled and machined buckle. Stupid easy to use and forget about once it's on. Work jeans, classic pants, waders. This will be my belt.
