I'm glad they recommend a line tailored to your actual waist size. I found one recommendation a bit too big, but it's better to cut it too long than too short. After a few cuts the perfect length was found and the strap looks and feels amazing! The strap is pretty solid and the buckle is attached to it with prongs so it seems like it's really there and not twitching at all. I would buy again in other colors/designs.
