Belt for life. Short and sweet. Quality materials, solid build, this belt will last. Break in period is significant, it's quality hide so that's expected. Buy a pre broken-in belt, compromise on support. Lever works for some, this prong is solid and makes for swift adjustment in tightness, accounting for clothing, bloat, ect, with ease. You can see where I wear the belt and the consequent shape forming. Sizing is as per the given chart. Not that it affects performance, but it smells great taboot. This is a company that cares about its products and its customers. Quality belt, from a quality company, with quality customer service.
