I've been a proud Grip6 belt owner and purchaser for years. I thoroughly like these belts. No visible "tails", no holes, always the right size (without having to punch additional holes), and it never slips! Only 4 stars for this purchase because the belt strap is shorter than expected. I have a 34" waist. When I reached out to see if I should've sized up, I was told they add 8-9" to each size, and since my other belts measure 42", "it should be perfect". Unfortunately, when I received the belt, it only measured 38". With pants, and a shirt tucked in, I've only got about 1.5" of belt to work with. On the plus side, I do have a couple other straps that I can use with this buckle... which, by the way, the gunmetal buckle is awesome! I really like the color! When purchasing, go up a size. If need be, you can always cut the excess and melt the end yourself.
