I wanted to love it, but wish the belt was made of a softer material. The belt is nylon or similar, so it does feel hard on your skin when it comes in contact with it. I like the minimal design, but you have to suck in your gut to get the buckle angled to release the belt. It did stay tight and never came loose over 2 weeks of using it and I will continue to use it, but it's just a bit different in how it operates. If it was softer, I would give it 4 stars. If it was easier to adjust and tighten, I would give it the last star. Just my experience. It is well made and a decent choice for any minimalist.
