I have a few other Columbia belts, and saw this on sale so I decided to purchase it. I've noticed with every other Columbia belt the size tends to be a little small, so I usually buy an extra size up (from the recommended size you're supposed to buy, which is already an extra size up). So I did what I normally do with Columbia belts, and order two sizes up. Well, for whatever reason, it was way too big. I mean, at least the one I received, was not even close to fitting. I was at least two inches skinnier than the last hole. I'm not sure if the one I received was a fluke or if this is the new normal, but I returned the belt and was unable to order a different size since it wasn't available. I ended up purchasing a similar belt from Columbia instead, and the size of that one is definitely closer to the smaller size that I am used to.
