Great belt! What I look for in a belt is 1. It will hold my pants without me having to adjust it. 2. It is convenient to carry. 3. It is easy and quick to put on. 4. The end does not crumble. Airoflux "Magnificent Journey" meets all my requirements and does everything very well. The rectangular loop that the strap goes through just behind the buckle is a bit tight and requires little force to thread the end of the strap through this loop. If that rectangular loop was a little taller and the end of the strap got through a little easier, this would be the perfect strap for me. Otherwise it is a perfect belt. The plastic buckle is very secure and when I put it on the belt doesn't move. I adjust the belt once and don't adjust it the rest of the day. The belt and buckle are very comfortable and have a much better feel than the metal buckles I've worn. The end of the belt is reinforced and should not crumble. I will definitely buy this brand again!
