For something so basic, I didn't think it could impress me this much. The straps are thick and the elastic is strong. The closure that goes around your waist is something unique to me and took me a second to figure out.. it's not what I thought it would be, and is in fact WAY more secure which put my main worries at ease (coming unhooked or pinching my belly during wear). The two ends slide into each other from the top and *snap* shut tightly as if you were opening a book! It's a really clever little mechanism and won't budge while it's on! The suspender clips have great grip and close firmly, the teeth aren't in rows, but rather, in a circle. The range for adjustability everywhere is great. I will mention that the straps connecting to your hosiery seemed rather "loose" while adjusting (meaning it was WAY too easy to slide the adjuster up and down). I needed mine as long as possible cause I wear it high around my waist, so its not an issue in my case, but keeping them at a specific shortened length could prove troublesome.. if worse came to worse, you could always sew the little sliding adjuster into place but that would limit your options a bit. It also allows you to move and/or remove straps from the belt, so if you didn't feel like using 6, you could use 4, or even 2. I was definitely pleasantly surprised when I opened this. Quality is WAY worth it.
