I'm pretty picky when it comes to belts and have been looking for a good, light, thin belt for shorts for a long time. All requirements were thus fully met. It is very comfortable, the construction is of high quality, the clasp is very reliable. The reason I can't give 5 stars is because of the high price. I think this belt should sell for more in the $15-$20 range. If it were in this price range I would definitely buy a second one.
