The first (inelastic) betta net I had was awesome until the buckle broke. Due to the quality and durability I tried to order another one. The only one available was the "stretch" style which is absolutely horrible IF YOU HAVE ANY WEIGHT IN YOUR BAGS! I fixed it and it works fine as long as you don't have any weight in your pockets. Add items to the pockets and belt. stretches! drop your pants I have to tighten the belt so tight it digs into my thighs just to carry a 12-ounce water bottle in my back pocket. Very dissatisfied with it. If you tend to have heavy bags, this belt probably isn't the best buy. The seller has impeccable service and I highly recommend finding a belt that suits your needs.
