Thanks to the suggestions by members of the forum in several threads, I bought myself a Daltech BioBelt. I was afraid I may have ordered the wrong size but within a couple of pretty quick emails with Daltech, I found that by ordering two sizes larger than my pants size, I ordered correctly. The belt is really stiff and seems really sturdy. I have carried while wearing it a few times and think it will work great. I actually started wearing it every day because due to the positions of the holes, it fits a lot better than the other belts I have. Thanks again to all of those who recommended buying a BioBelt.
