This belt feels very light and almost flimsy but don't mistake that to mean weak. This belt does exactly what you want for holding your pants as snugly as you want without being seen - fully adjustable to infinite sizes. The material feels and looks like plastic, but it has held up very well and lasted longer than my leather belts so far. This belt is not meant to be seen so I really don't care how it looks. It disappears under your tops and holds together securely. I'm very happy with it.
