I was looking for a nylon belt to replace the regular belt that came with my fisherman pants. Unfortunately, the belt loops were so tight that none of my normal belts fit. I received them yesterday and they are perfect. They are lightweight and metal-free, allowing them to be used for airport security. The design is similar to the old military belts I had. If you are looking for a strap for EDC or carrying heavier items, this is NOT the one. This is a lightweight nylon webbing, not a rigging webbing. But if you're looking for something thin to wear to work with your fishing pants or shorts or to go to the airport, this is it. I wish the nylon was a little stiffer, but that's not worth deducting a star for. I would recommend.
