Not true to size.  It says everywhere to order 3 inches smaller than your waist.  I did, and it was too small.  I re-laced the back and didn't use the shoulder straps and it was okay.  It STRETCHED all day as I wore it- so I had to lace it tighter and tighter as the day went on.  Snaps along the front are really hard to fasten.  Buckles are just for show and not weight-bearing. There is no adjustment on the neck strap which makes it a little uncomfortable.
