I've never had a belt like this before. It is very durable and reliable. In the last month of owning it I have been convinced that it is strong and reliable. It slips easily through the loops on my pants and fits perfectly around my waist. The only small problem was that I couldn't figure out how to take it off until I watched the video on your website. After that no problem. I plan to buy more of these belts with different colors and buckles. I love the variety of styles you offer. Worth the price.
