I purchased two belts. The work belt is wide and sturdy, adjust easily to my waste and stays secure throughout the day. The other belt is the carbon fiber buckle, it is narrower and seems cheap. After wearing it for one day I noticed it became very scratched and no longer looks good. After wearing both belts, and purchasing sight unseen, I would have rather preferred two work belts. The wider belt and more durable finish better suits my needs.. I have been wearing the same leather belt for 20 years, it tells a story of my life, the ups and downs in my weight and is twisted and warped from years of sweat, dirt and grime. If grip 6 is still producing belts in 20 years, I wonder if I will still be wearing mine??
