This belt is fantastic. I have another ratchet strap that uses a lever under the buckle, but the ratchet can be difficult to release. However, this strap comes off easily and is really easy to adjust. Due to its design, note that it's possible to accidentally loosen the strap, but that's not a problem, although I wrote to them suggesting they make it a bit tighter to loosen. The belt itself looks great. , not as thick as the other one I have and not so wide that it easily fits in the belt loops. I got tan because I needed that color. This is a great belt and the price is so high that I will be buying a black belt soon and choosing a different buckle to swap it out with if I so desire.
