Every once in a while in my Amazon shopping experience I have had the pleasure of getting a truly fantastic deal. This is one of those times when I wish I could give the product six or seven stars. The belts are clearly sturdy and well made. While I have never used the plastic clasps before they seem to be substantial and up to the task. The colors are great - and the fact that you get eight belts for what comes to a bit more than two bucks per belt - each with its own matching clasp - is nearly beyond belief.Canvas belts have been my go-to choice for casual wear for many years and these meet or exceed the quality of any I've ever had. They usually last me for many years, but after a few years the clasps inevitably get scratched and worn and the canvas eventually frays. I think the plastic clasps are a definite improvement as they are certain to keep their clean appearance longer than metal, and the fact that I won't have to remove my belt anymore at airport security is a definite plus.I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this purchase. The product is in every way more than I expected or could have even hoped for. They also have my wife's seal of approval and that is always a plus. I will recommend these to anyone without hesitation and can only add that if you pass this up it will be a shame. And just for the record - I have absolutely no ties to the seller or the company, I paid full price for the product, I've never shilled for anyone and I'm not a bot. Just a very, very happy customer.
