The belt is sewn with logos so that the only way it makes sense to put on is towards the right side first. This is the opposite to what I am used to. The buckle is such that you slide the belt webbing into the side, adjust to size, you then slide the other end of the webbing into the other side of the buckle. Let's just say that adjusting to the correct size is less than ideal. If you haven't gotten the correct size on the first side of the buckle, you'll find yourself out of luck. If you wanted to use it as a tourniquet, you would have an easy time tightening it, but an impossible time keeping it tight.I will use them because the return window closed, but will not purchase again.
