What a great product! I suffer from chronic back pain and my old leather belt was causing part of the problem. I bought this belt after researching some similar items online. Best belt Ive ever owned. Supportive, not restrictive at all, and it has a slim buckle for more comfort. I wear a 34 waist and ordered a large to be on the safe side. It was a little too long but I was able to cut it as the manufacturer suggested. Now its the perfect length. I like it so much I ordered two more in olive and brown. The one thing I would advise is to order the size larger than it states. I ordered mediums for the second belts and found they were slightly shorter than I prefer. Go large and cut and singe if needed. Seriously though, best belt Ive ever had.
