Yes, I've seen rave reviews and bad reviews, but I'm right in the middle here. This is a decent belt at a decent price, maybe a bit overpriced compared to the quality. It's thick enough, it should work for a while but it will probably wear out sooner or later, I use it 5 days a week and move around quite a bit so it's being tested. The back of the strap is unfinished and rather rough. It won't slip through the belt loops when the belt is tight, making it difficult to get a snug fit all the way around. I have found that wearing this belt as a simple feather is best. My waist is smaller than my pants size so I just use a belt to tighten the waist of my pants to fit my real waist. Hopefully this will give the belt a little more life.
