As an ambulance specialist I wanted a harness that was strong, good looking, easy to put on and just as easy to detach. This belt gave me everything which is a steal for the price I paid. My only criticism of the belt is that they made the buckle too big for the belt loops. To remove the belt or put on new pants, you need to remove the male end of the buckle from the belt. Actually a slight inconvenience for me that I have learned to tolerate, but an inconvenience nonetheless.
