I thought that these belts had a lot of promise.  Alas, for me, they have not worked out so well.  I have some muscle weakness in my hands, and although I find the belt to be pretty easy to put on, taking it off is a nightmare for me.  I suppose there is a "learning curve", but a learning curve for a BELT?  Come on.  Turned out to be an expensive experiment.  The belt itself is a nicely engineered product.  There is really nothing to it, actually.  It is more a quality IDEA than a quality belt.  and it is really expensive for what it is.  I am sure more able bodied men will love this belt, but me....not so much.  I will probably gift this to my son.
