dyl3262372 - this is a piece of art, not a hunk of plastic. 100% PU ... the new hottness in accessories.

Not just piece of plastic. I did some research on the mechanism and the material they used. looks people at nooka lab developed a custom side ratcheting mechanism just for this belt and the material they used is called Elastollan, a high tech PU which is soft yet very durable. I use a green one when boarding down the slopes matches my green skate banana and the black one works really well on an everyday basis. It also give you a reason to introduce your crotch to lot of beautiful strangers !

I agree with him, sure its well made, and a cool looking belt, but still its not worth $84.95
