This is the first tactical sling I have ever owned. I always wear leather straps and they never last long and the hole system just doesn't work because the holes are too far apart and will expand over time. This is the second day I've worn a belt and I've never had to pull my pants up. This is a great belt and I would recommend it to anyone who has trouble wearing trousers. This is a quality belt and at a very reasonable price. My only complaint is that you have to remove the buckle to unbuckle the belt from your pants, but I can deal with that. I've read reviews of people saying it's difficult to remove the buckle and then put the strap back through the buckle. I think it's pretty easy, tedious but not difficult.
