I was looking for a cute belt that I could either wear with my amphibious shorts without fear of getting them wet, or for everyday wear in places where I'm likely to look for metal equipment would have to search. I chose brown and it goes surprisingly well with all my pants and shorts. It feels solid and is easy to tighten and loosen. When I put it on, it doesn't slip at all. The material is very light and seems to dry quickly even though I haven't been in the water with it yet. Overall, I'm glad I made the right decision. The price is wonderful.
