I like the comfort of belts with some give, but I've had difficulty finding good quality stretch belts.  So, when I found these, I purchased them in 3 different colors.  I wear one of them almost every day and have been very pleased with both the comfort and the quality.  The only criticism I have is that, even though my measurement was between 2 sizes and I purchased them in the smaller size, the belt "tail" I end up with when it's buckled is a little more than I would like to have.  Of course, that's better than the other way around, but I assume someone in the lower part of the measurement range will have even more of a belt "tail".
