I don't usually wear straps that wide, but I need this strap for another reason. I have a Rothco backpack with a belt for better weight distribution. This belt has a plastic clip for easy removal and a "slider" that allows you to tighten the belt. I lost this strap on a trip and rather than replace my backpack or scare the good folks at Rothco I bought this as a replacement. The belt is wide but fits in the backpack loops. The metal D rings are strong and light enough to tighten as desired. In short, it's very useful!
