I really liked this belt how durable it is. It's perfect in thickness, width and length, and the D-rings are of durable quality. I purchased this item for a week long hike in mountainous woods in Iowa. I needed it to hold an axe, a few small items on my belt like a hand chain saw and a heavy duty compass, and of course to hold my pants down. I even treated it with permethrin to keep the bugs out. I can't tell you how many times I've enjoyed being able to tighten the strap with one hand. I love that I can tighten it as tight as needed, not just to the nearest strap hole, and I also loved how easy it is to undo. It was a quality product, so thank you!
