I've had a belt like this for a long time that uses the exact same clasp so I figured I couldn't go wrong with this one. The problem is that they are much shorter. Although they don't fit me with my current waist size, they should fit others. I can say the locking mechanism is amazing, and in my experience with the other strap, it snaps on and off easily and doesn't slip off. The material these straps are made of seems to be of good quality even for heavy use. So while they didn't quite fit me, they should fit other people with smaller waists.
