I don't give them away lightly. In fact, they require a life-changing function. The belt, while not revolutionary or new, does the job with grace and durability. I don't think she will ever become a fashion icon but the concept works and they pull it off perfectly. I already have another tape for that. I hope they add a leather option or five at some point. I can't see how the GRIP6 can become an official belt, but for all activities other than business, this is just my belt choice, period. You really are that good. And if you look at my reviews, I'm very reluctant to give 5 star ratings. These straps are really worth the last star.
