The belt is very impressive. It requires some "work" to get it malleable enough to use - it is exceptionally rigid when you get it, and you just have to flex it over and over so that it becomes flexible enough to even buckle and cinch down tight. Initially, just too firm to even pull tight and buckle.
It will loosen up so to speak so you will be able to buckle it easier, but still will be hard to loosen once tight. But as far as rigidity, it stays that way-very firm.
