So, after several buckles breaking by one of the most popular "slide belt" sellers on the web these days, I decided to try out Marino belt.  It was 1/2 the cost, and the buckle looked like it was a lot better made.  So far, it's held up great and the belt is actually staying attached to the buckle, which was another problem I was having with the much better known competitor.  If you can find a buckle you like from Marino, I highly recommend this belt.
