I waited to write this review so I could really test out how well it works first. A while ago, I lost a lot of weight and my pant size dropped by quite a few sizes, so needless to say, my skinny jeans are not so skinny anymore and fall off my waist, but can still be worn as a sort of bootcut style. I do a lot of bending and crouching at my job, so my pants will often slide down, which is pretty troublesome because I'd prefer not to flash a plumber's crack at my coworkers. This belt is extremely adjustable and can fit just about anyone, big or small. I like this because it's very elastic, and when I bend down and crouch, it doesn't cut into my stomach like a hard leather belt probably would because it's stretchy and lightweight. The buckle, while made of plastic, is actually very sturdy and I have not had any concerns about it cracking or breaking in any way, even though I wear the belt quite tight. Additionally, it is so easy to buckle that I can fasten it without having to look at what I am doing. I imagine that this belt might be easier to put on and take off for folks who might have problems with fine motor skills. It's definitely faster and preferable to me to use this buckle over a traditional belt buckle. I don't wear any other belt anymore. Overall, it's by far worth the price and I recommend it. I'll likely be purchasing more in different colors in the future.
