I've worn this belt now for year. LOVE IT. I orignially wasn't overly impresses. It was difficult to get it threaded through the slots and couldn't seem to get it tight enough and seemed to loosen. NOW: After a few months (maybe less, I wasn't actively tracking!) I easily 'thread' it through the buckle and get it cinched. It stays tight now as the nylon has just a slightest bit of 'smoothing'. I was worried long term about the smoothing effect not letting it stay tight, but the opposite has happened. Unlike my heavy leather belts, there is no rolling over or shape change. I am a large guy, carry lots of stuff in my pockets (and often hang a pist ol off it) and this belt is my daily wearer and wouldn't use another.
nice belt...but would be better if it had a TAPER on the end to easily THREAD through the buckle...I find it a challenge to get the belt through the 2nd hole on the buckle...making it difficult to properly tighten....a simple taper would have solved this.......
