Im a cheap bastard so I use a belt. Found some decent shorts at Costco, yeah mock away, but they are CK cargo shorts, great for working in an office and were only like 17 bucks. Only 2 issues, the smallest size is 32 and the shit belt is one of those like on helmets, but not a stiff material so when you tighten it the 2 "D" rings pass from one to another, so I had to switch to a normal belt. But cheap is cheap.
