I bought this on the advice of Grisha Stewart to use with her belay leash system. It is strong and very comfortable to wear. The two zippered compartments are perfect for ID, keys, protein bar, etc. My 60 pound German Shepherd loves to be my hiking buddy but she also loves to chase squirrels, rabbits, lizards…pretty much anything that moves. With this belt, along with the belay leash system, I am able to allow her to explore, but also keep her under control when needed.
