I've had it in black for a couple years and the brown one for about a year. It can take some attention to thread the belt through loops, but it's not much hassle. The buckle is super light weight (aluminum?) and is easy to thread and holds perfectly; it has never slipped. This belt doesn't get kinked where it gets buckled the way a leather belt does. Great, simple, design that is comfortable to wear.
I use this belt while hiking. I had a leather belt that stained my pants. This belt is the perfect replacement. I have no issues in getting the belt through the pant loops as noted by others.
A little wider than I expected, but fits this year's styles well. Buckle is sturdy, but does slip a little on use, but not a huge issue. A bit pricey, but not out of line with other suppliers.
I bought the old Bean nylon belts and they were great. The new ones are wider and have a metal buckle. The width can bind in some belt loops, but I haven't found any they won't fit. The plastic buckle on the old belt broke, and I had to give it up. The metal one won't do that. I am very happy with the new belts, and recommend them highly. They're comfortable and can be adjusted quickly.
