ashley smart 4 Note This is now around 1 year after purchase.The belt perform really well and for 2000 yen its been a great purchase i normally carry magazine and grenades on it.It has started to break in 2 ways. The seam has popped at the top right and the stitching on the right side is pull through the material.. both problems could have been avoided if the manufacturer had of run the main belt right through the middle and sitched the outside straps into the stronger material but it cuts off a few cm in(pictures included)
