I'm looking at the Inzer belts now and trying to figure out why the economy is less than half the price of the normal Forever. Although the Forever does seem like a good lifetime investment. Or I could go balls out with the PR BELT

I got the Forever belt just because I thought paying 30-40 dollars more than for the economy belt was justified since you'll probably end up using it for like 4 or 5 years at least.

Which makes you think...why not just get the PR Belt? I doubt this is true, but the buckle on the PR belt seems like it has more places for it to malfunction than a simple prong on the Forever belt. But I've never used one so why am I even commenting? Has anyone here tried using one?

I got the economy belt. The metal rivets on kinda stick out and look cheaper. The loop is thinner leather. You can see the layers of leathers stuck together. It feels almost exactly the same. It only comes in 2 prong though. I wouldn't get a PR belt without trying one on first. Although given your girth, the PR belt which is not limited by holes may be necessary to accommodate your physique.

1 prong is definitely the way to go, whatever belt you decide.
