Excellent! I'm sick of woven belts with buckles that slip off the belt end when pulled (which is why I wear a belt), this one doesn't and it stays in place. I'm waiting for the black ones to be available and wish they were anthracite. I'm khaki in color and the lanyard matches the color of the belt. The buckle is made of non-ferrous metal (aluminum?), so I don't know yet if the metal detector works.
