Two weeks in, I'm definitely liking it. Rigid enough to easily support my EDC stuff, but not the kind of crazy-rigid my Ares Ranger sports (still love the Ares belt for 2X AR/2X pistol mags and a pistol for taking/teaching classes; the rigidity shines, then).
I, also, don't get the gripes about how "complicated" a belt is when it comes to what one needs to do to thread into loops or take a dump, as mentioned by those that will still use the belt they're describing as such. If it's that big a PITA, the logical COA is to change to a different belt. Not like there ain't plenty of options out there.
I mean....it's BELT LOOPS, for the love of Ned. They'll be complicated when they require a damned CPU to successfully interface with a belt; until then, somebody's definitions are kinda screwy, or they need to open and drink a can of "Man."

I don't tend to notice weight, but losing the bulk of a two-ring, Cobra, or riggers-type buckle is definitely nice, in general, and particularly if I have to offset the buckle for some reason. No more hot-spot over my hip bones, yay! How a simpler buckle impacts the price of the thing is a definite perk, too! $45 is not too shabby.
Though, for the first time in years...I probably should have ordered the medium instead of the large. I'm using the last of the 4 PALS loops both with AND without an IWB holster. I can't tighten the thing at all with the two innermost loops.
