I was surprised to see that around here, most of the guys were wearing belted pants. It's just not an issue. I think the reason most go belted is that you can't find beltless between here and Denver or Salt Lake City. The local sporting goods store doesn't carry them because he can't make a profit. You have to either get them on-line or drive 5 hours.
I prefer beltless, but haven't been able to find mine since we moved (they're packed somewhere). Walmart sells a decent pair of belted slacks for about $11. I was going to use them as a stop-gap until I noticed it wasn't an issue here. Now, I can bide my time for a good deal on Honigs or some similar web site.
