This belt easily lives up to all of the great reviews. I needed a belt that was easy to fasten and unfasten so based on reviews I tried the Marino brand. I love how easy the ratchet system is to use. It is a quality belt and looks and feels good when on and at a great price too. The only thing you need to do first is cut some of it off to make it a custom size range. That could not be easier either. I would suggest though that you just cut a little at a time and keep trying it because if you cut too much it can't be reversed. This is a great belt that I have no negative comments about. Plus they offer a great selection of styles. Also included free was a really nice Keychain which by itself would almost cost as much as the belt but was included as a bonus.
