I bought this tie down strap for my husband who has always had "holes in the wrong place" in his straps. It was always too loose or too tight. I bought this belt to see if it would affect its comfort. That's great. Looks high quality and the buckle is no different from a normal belt buckle. Follow the trimming instructions and you can't go wrong. It can be noisy when you just pull to tighten the strap, but when you lift the buckle a little it makes no noise at all. I would recommend this harness to anyone who wants more control and comfort when wearing a harness. I order a couple more to change into and he wears out the straps quickly. Attaching his phone, secateurs, and pocket knife to his strap causes wear and tear, but this strap seems to be holding up pretty well so far.
