Bought this for my husband to wear while traveling, to avoid setting off metal detectors (and so he doesn't have to remove his belt every time). The size is fine, and overall, it's a nice belt, though the quality could be a little higher. I expect this will last a couple of years if he wears it only for travel (his job requires about 20% travel)...more wear than that and I think it'll start fraying sooner. For the price, it's a good buy to use while traveling.
