We get a lot of compliments on how comfortable this belt is to wear and how durable it is. – Buckle: – Granite black- powder-coated textured for better wear resistance – The clasp has 2 set screws to give a more reliable hold than just a clasp alone (a Nexbelt exclusive) – Constructed using stainless steel set screws and not pins like cheap others (patent pending) – Buckle size 1 7/8 x 3 – Strap: – Our nylon straps are made from a super-high density microfiber material that is an advanced composite of ultra-fine polyester fibers. This allows the stiffness required for holstering your protection device if you have a CCW permit or just your everyday tools. This ratchet belt makes a great work belt also. – The backing is sweat resistant – Strap thickness near 3/16 and fits up to 50 waist – Strap width is 1 1/2
