Love the look of this belt and the very simple way it works. However, it will be interesting to see how long this lasts. In the past I've achieved a fine grit with dual D-ring fabric straps and braided leather straps. Wicker quickly collapsed. I will definitely continue to use D-rings because I love them and keep them, but this belt has a classy look that they don't. Let's see if it lasts longer than wicker!
