Make sure your waist measurement is 4 inches larger than stated. Cow. It was a really thick hide, a team of oxen could pull at it. When using it to carry items like Kydex holsters it borders on thickness. Not wide but thick. Remember. My Kydex interactive whiteboard was barely able to handle the thickness of the skin. I gave it a 5* due to the extreme durability I know it will have and the cost. I am very happy with how much better it supports than my other belts I have. I've snapped 2 straps in less than 6 months, the holes have ripped and the buckles just fell apart while wearing them. Torn in one day right in the store. The same happened the second time. This belt won't do it, I guarantee it.
