This is the very best belt I have ever had the pleasure of owning in terms of both form and function. The adjustment is smooth, easy and fast, an important consideration, if like me, you travel a lot by air and need to remove and then replace your belt every time you go through security. The buckle is well designed and proportional, not overly thick like some other inferior products. The release mechanism design is elegantly simple and strong, again the other products are much more cumbersome and in some cases difficult to use. I was so impressed with the design that I ordered two more.

The only mystery to me is why everyone doesn't own one or more of these, and why they're not more widely distributed.

From, function and quality all rolled into one. Thank you Erik Blaire!
