Bought this belt 7 months ago. I have liked it very much. It is easy to adjust, hides farely well under clothes with no bulk like normal thick belts. But it is plastic and tends to keep the shape and bends. This can be very annoying when you cant bend it back. You would have to use a hair dryer to heat it up and try to work the kinks out. My black belt hasn't be worn excessively like my clear one. But I put it on this morning and the plastic snap cracked right in half where it meets the "belt" portion. This is the reason I gave it 3 stars b/c its barely over 6 months old and hasn't been worn that much.
