It’s exactly what you think it is. Well made, simple to use (after taking a day or so to get used to). It’s strong enough to hold my pistol and holster with needing to adjust the belt at all (I.E. no slippage) What I like best though, and it’s going to sound weird, is how light it is. You wouldn’t think that would have made a difference at all but I feel a little lighter when I’m going about the day. Sounds weird, but I gotta tell ya it mattered. All in all it’s damn nice. I haven't tried washing it just yet (it is a type of fabric so it can attract some dirt working in the yard) but I have no complaints at all.
