Disappointing. I am a size 18 so the problems with the belt are probably not experienced by smaller folks. Not good for jeans or heavy pants, I wear this belt with Duluth/Columbia style light hiking pants. I have watched the video, read the instructions but still can't master this belt. I can't get it tight enough and find myself hiking my pants up all day even with empty pockets. Additionally- for whatever reason, I have ripped my short nails down to the quick trying to get the belt as tight as possible. My husband has reported difficulty tightening and it seems to loosen through out the day.
