I never considered that a belt would not work? seems so simple...but the way this buckling device loops onto the belt itself it could never possibly lie flat. The result is bizarre and un-usable. I tried several ways and thought that maybe I am just missing something? maybe Im being stupid? but alas, no...this thing will not be used to hold up pants.

DO NOT BUY THIS BELT!! One half of the buckle is PERMANENTLY attached to one end of the belt where your normal belt buckle would be. The other half of the buckle attaches to the other end of the belt and is adjustable from that end. The problem is that both halves of the buckle are, 90% of the time, TOO BIG TO FIT THRU THRU THE BELT LOOPS ON YOUR PANTS. This means every time you want to change to a clean pair of pants you have to take half of the belt buckle OFF of the belt, take the belt off the pants and then thread the belt on to the clean pants and then re-attach that half of the buckle you took off. This is maddening! There is no way to thread this belt thru your belt loops while you are wearing the pants unless you take half of the buckle off. Unbelievably stupid design!

I wanted to like this belt. The price seemed good (Get what you pay for) but the design is so bad as to make the belt useless. Conversely a belt that looks and functions the same JUKMO is much better. They may look the same but trust me they are not. It's a few dollars more, 3 I think? But it's better to go with that vs this belt where the buckle does not lay flat NO MATTER WHAT!! You have been warned!!!

AFTER WEARING ON 1ST DAY AFTER A FEW HOURS THE SPRINGS IN BUCKLE ARE NOT WORKING After not even a full day one of the springs popped out and now the buckle comes undone on its own. I am returning this belt and buying a blue alpha gear belt. This belt is junk and the buckle is not even close to being as durable as a legit cobra buckle. Do yourself a favor and spend more money on a belt that had an actual cobra buckle and not this cheap made of zinc Chinese-made lookalike.

This is DANGEROUS! I knew I should have known better than to trust this belt. I walked up onto a curb and the belt just unlatched, nearly dropping my $1500 service pistol onto the ground. Luckily, I have a quality holster that kept this from happening. AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE! Honestly, if this were to happen to someone carrying an inferior firearm, the gun could theoretically discharge, which nobody wants to even think about. For shame on such a low quality product!!!!!

Does not stay tight. Has to be adjusted constantly. I'm not a big guy either. Average height, low weight. Not doing anything strenuous, at least not more strenuous than getting in and out of the car and walking around. Yet I'm having to adjust it every time I use the restroom or stand up. And I keep it snug so it's not lik it has much lead to wiggle with. I've had it for a short time, maybe a month, but multiple times I've buckled my belt only for my pants to immediately start falling off my Hank Hill-esque behind. Super uncool in a packed bathroom. Nobody wants to see my alabaster hued legs, unless they hate their vision. This belt has caused three people to be blinded, and two to require intensive reconstruction eye surgery.

I really wanted to love this belt. It's very solid looking, has a good mechanism for locking, and the price is certainly right. But the head/buckle is too large for most men's pants. I wear wool dress pants (e.g. for a suit), business casual khakis, and jeans. The only pants I could get this belt inserted into were the jeans-- and even then it was just barely. I nearly tore the loops off. Beware of the dimensions they provide because although the buckle may have a width that is equal to or less than many belt loops, the buckle also has a substantial thickness which means that when you go to actually thread it through the belt loops, there isn't enough room to feed it through. If the buckle on this belt could be just a hair smaller, it'd be so much more versatile. The actual belt itself (the webbing) doesn't need to be any thinner (the current width is fine).

Belt used steady for one month before review. In the range of all the belts I bought I find this one maybe in the middle of the road maybe slightly below middle. It is definitely a softer belt very flexible. Does it support attachments onto your belt Yes to some degree. It could be just this belt that I received but the softness in the two ply is so flexible anything heavier applied to the belt makes his belt useless. If I do a direct comparison to the best belt I've ever but of this style, I'd give this maybe a two. One strong highlight of this belt is the latching feature. Out of the dozens to which I bought this belt latch is probably one of the better ones. Very smooth no stickiness. So after the latches brake on one of my better belts I'll probably use this one on those. The stitching itself I've seen no wear with the month I've had the belt. Halfway through the day I must tighten the belt I assume because of stretch.

Ok, the first belt I order came with a defective latch. There are two latches (on the female end) on the buckle that are supposed to spring back when you clip the male end into the female end. Unfortunately, one of the latches did not spring back automatically. This caused the belt to unbuckle with barely any force - let alone trying to actually put it to use as a belt. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent out a replacement immediately. Well, the replacement arrive and the buckle is sewn on backwards! They have their "Fairwin" patch on the belt that should face outward (so people could see that you are wearing their belt). Well, since the the buckle was sewn in backwards, you would have to have the patch facing inside which rubs against your pants - which is irritating. Also, since it's sewn in, you can't flip it around to correct the problem. If you tried removing it, you would destroy the belt. Having had two belts - both of which have manufacturing defects - there is clearly no quality control done when producing these belts. Unfortunately, it's too late for me to get a refund. Learn from my experience . . . DO NOT BUY THIS BELT!!!
