Bought after two SlideBelts kept pulling out of the buckles. At the same time, fastening the belt in the buckle is MUCH more reliable! Unfortunately, the buckle scratches more easily than the SlideBelts buckle, but I can deal with that on an otherwise perfect belt. I've lost over 40 pounds since I've had this belt and it's nice to be able to just pull the belt out, trim it, and keep using it. You don't have to buy a new belt just because you've lost weight!
