I'll start with the negative. It was rough at reception. The warm-up lasted about a week. There are many more pluses than minuses. Now this is my most worn belt. It's really tough, but in a good way. I moved the inner loop between the other two loops and that really improved the carry position. The perfect color too. Make sure you get your waist size right as buckle overlap is the minimum distance from belt to buckle unless you adjust the back loop like I did.
