I'm fucking pissed.
After years I finally settled on the MMT specialist and they finally got the buckles right after fucking around with those shitty stamped steel ones on their initial release.
I bought one of these on a whim and I'll be damned if it isn't a better belt in pretty much every way. The wilderness nylon has always been the best in the industry and now it's paired with a good buckle.
Now to get rid of 3 belts and buy 2 more of these.
