I read the reviews and while I knew it was lightweight, I was amazed at how much this belt didn't weigh. To the point I tried bending the buckle thinking it must be aluminum! It didn't budge, this bad boy will last a lifetime if I can keep this pant size! Everything went smoothly and I love how low and light it is. It's almost like I'm not wearing a belt, but I know I know how tight my pants have been all day. worth your money
