This belt is my favorite belt. I am handicapped and Face difficulty in finding belts that are user-friendly enough without compromising its durability; I only wear synthetic clothing and this one is as synthetic as belts come. I love how it can be washed because I have a tendency to constantly get my belts dirty. Leather belts always break down due to normal wear but because this is nylon it does not get worn out like leather belts. I plan on having just this one belt for the rest ofmy life!
