I did not purchase this belt from Revain but from a local hiking shop (support your local business people). Same belt though and I have to say I really like it. It's pretty much the only belt I've worn in the last five or so years, with the exception of leather belts for more dressy occasions of course. So far it's holding up great. No cracks, no chipping on the carbon fibre, no fraying on the nylon and with its lightness it practically disappears at the waist. Very comfortable and at the same time rigid when I need to insert a pistol holster or knife sheath. Great all-round belt from the USA.
