Here are two threads which discuss that.

Like the other threads say, I like the weightlifting belt. Although I think I bought mine a bit too big, so there's a bit of sag.
It works very well for keeping my Stick elevated to my liking, but keeps the belt hook positioned with the lap dawg in such a way that truss adjustments are a snap. (Thanks for that tip Greg).

"I stole the idea from Kevin Keith" A phrase I whispered to Tony Levin after he asked me where I got my belt from.

What a set of name drops, am I right?

I just use my pants belt. Less of a hassle, less to deal with when putting on the Stick.

Reinforced Gun belts will do both jobs:

http://www.amazon.com/5-11-Tactical-Trainer-2-Inch-Belt/dp/B003Z0N7G6

These belts are stiff Nylon with velcro to stabilize them.
I use them as my regular pants belt.

Me too. Plus, I think having an extra belt looks kinda lame on me.

In an earlier thread I recommended a weight lifting belt. I got the leather kind and now regret it. It holds the Stick in a very comfortable position. But at the Interlochen seminar a few years back some attendee who's name I forget noticed the belt. After asking me how I liked it, he said "I bet your belt hook has a crack in it". Sure enough it did. If you are interested in a weight lifting belt, I would look for one made out of soft material. Or maybe just graft yourself on a kangaroo pouch...that might work and would be one less thing to have to bring to a gig!
