I discovered ratchet straps about two months ago and I love them! I have two Bulliants, two Missionaries, two Chaorens and a Lavemy Belt. Chaoren belts are the most functional. The leather is excellent quality and the open buckle style I have is very easy to open. I simply lift the back of the buckle to loosen it, or push the strap forward to tighten it a few notches. It's a lot easier than wearing a claw-and-hole style that's always too tight or too loose. Too much space between the holes for a comfortable fit. But these ratchet straps can be cut to size and tightening or loosening throughout the day is a breeze. I have two Chaoren open buckle belts in gray and cognac and I highly recommend this product.
