I love my belts. I got a 1.5 and a 1.1 at the same time. I like my belts tight, and these belts definitly stay in place. They can be tricky to get tight and require a little effort/practice. The 1st time I tried to take one off was also interesting but you quickly learn the trick. I like the 1.1 much better than the 1.5 because it is more comfortable when sitting. Even though it is an extremely low profile belt I can still feel the width of the belt when sitting down, probably because of the extra weight in my stomach. The 1.1 is also much easier to cinch down and take off. They sell that size as the woman's belt but don't be turned off. It rocks particularly with a pair of dress pants more so than the wider belt. The only thing that I could ask for to make these belts better would be for more colored straps. I would love a 1.1 belt in bright green or purple or yellow or anything fluorescent. Hey Grip 6, If you decide to put out any of those additional colors I'll buy them all. If you don't want to commit to crazy colors long term then start doing a seasonal line that are limited time only. I would gladly buy a crazy color strap every 3 months.
