The belt quality is good, wish the material was thicker. It seems flimsy being so thin. Also wish there was a 2" version, hey check the width/height of the belt loops in most jeans, and mens cargo shorts, way over 1.75". The thicker the belt/width the more things we can put on it. Yes, we need a heavy wide belt for out CCP, phone, and other things we may want to hang on it. The latching mechnisim is good, but, if you have weight on it, harder to get tight. Not sure I would get another one until I can get a 2" belt. No one make one now. GREAT it is made in USA, that alone would bring me back if you improve the product. The belt buckle is strong make it heaver a little too.
