I started to use this belt on April and since the moment of use it, I notice a brown color coming out from the belt, I continue using It until I got stains on my t-shirt, but the situation got really worse ruining my outfit. In summer the rivets got rust and stain the belt and clolthes as well. The belt became a fountain of rust and brown tan color coming out every time I work out. I sent pictures to elitefts about this issue so, in compensation, They replied telling me about to send me 2 t-shirts that I never received. I wrote again requesting to change the belt, I supose it has a guarantee but, They answered all belts receive the same treat, now I am looking a way to fix the belt in a leather goods store. I am really disappointed with this brand and the customer service because It is a $100 belt, furthermore I got potenza belt from Amazon which is cheaper and I haven't gotten any problem with that belt. Definitely I do not recommend this product and looks like the customer service and the warranty don't help too much. Besides Their web page didn't allow me to do this review with a bad rating, for that reason I did it here.
