Let me start by saying I'm 6ft 4" tall and barely weigh 135lbs so I was looking for a cheap padded belt for my bony frame. That is definitely not the case with this belt. Landing is generally good but very harsh. The belt has no lining at all, it feels like they took a strip of cardboard and lined it with faux leather. That being said, if you don't mind a little stiffness it might be ok for the low price, for me I give 2/5 for my personal experience and needs.
