I was looking for a nice belt that could be worn with either amphibious shorts without fear of them getting wet, or casual wear in places where I'm likely to walk through metal detectors would. . I chose brown and it goes surprisingly well with all my trousers 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.
