The hardware on this belt is awesome & high quality. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the belt itself. At this price point, I wasn't expecting much. However, the belt smells to high heaven - it's a chemical smell. After three days of airing it out, the smell remains & has not changed. This goes back. Unfortunately, I'm paying shipping both ways, which almost makes it not worth it to return. Due to the strong chemical smell, I consider this a defective product. As a result, I don't recommend this item or this seller.
