I bought this as a gift for my husband. He always seems to fall between two belt notches so he has to choose between his pants falling down or not being comfortable.  He has mentioned it several times so when I saw this belt, I figured I would give it a try.  Honestly, given the price, I was very worried about the quality and/or thought this might be a gimmick.  My husband loves this belt.  According to him, it is one of the best gifts I have ever given him!  If you are on the fence, buy it.  While the belt might not be the absolute best quality, the comfort and ease of how this works is 100% worth the small trade off.  I just sent him the link because he wants to buy another in a 2nd color.
