I've owned the previous model of this belt for 10 years. I've worn it pretty much every day and it still looks and functions great. It works great for hikes, climbing, and fishing, and can be dressed up and worn to dinner. Stiff enough to hold your pants up, but soft and flexible enough to be comfortable sitting in it all day. Love this belt!

Belt Material not at soft and pliable as first additions. Like new buckle design.

Great belt when you need something casual. Heat a putty knife to super hot and use it to cut belt to desired length. "Seals" the cut nicely without gnarling it with a lighter or open flame.

The belt is more rigid than I expected so it gives good support but not too stiff.

Using a hot plate or iron to reseal the webbing provides a much better looking and even seal than using a lighter or flame to melt it.

I like the casualness of the belt and works well with jeans.
