I was a skeptic about this belt. I didn't think a quality braided elastic belt could be offered at this price, especially since most others seem to run about 3 to 4 times more. But I've been pleasantly surprised. This belt looks good and feel good. My only other concern is whether it will last given that there are no fixed holes, and the buckle pin is forced through the braids wherever I feel like putting it.  Time will tell.
