OK (trying to take this seriously since it is posted here and not roasting over the campfire), aside from the fashion statement and the rather interesting marketing pics on that web site, I would have to wonder just how secure those snaps would be in NYC. I have seen shoulder bags removed from peoples shoulders with little trouble and the perpetrator disappear into the crowd. Now that belt certainly would be harder to slash through but the pouches only snap on. Alice clips would be more secure but if someone simply grabs the pouch and gives it a yank it will come off those snaps instantly - just as advertised - and there goes my valuable stuff (cosmetics, hairbrush, extra oil for my pectorals and washboard abs and hair (all the same oil BTW)).
