comparison purchase decided. I bought this set and the Chaoren set. These are cheaper in price. When we opened the box, the musty smell was very strong. The straps are stored in the sleeve. I'm through it The straps were odorless. They look the same as other belts, but other belts that cost $10 more are softer. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet, but I'm a long way from buying it.
