No funny wear on the underside. Just small portions that have a cut/slice/crack on the top side. It's almost as if someone took a razor blade to the top of my belt in a few places.

Even after long highway drives, the belt does not seem excessively warm/hot. There's only an occasional crack and always on the same line, not multiple cracks on different lines....
