Help me fix my belt issues!

[wakechica]

Firstly, I make no apologies for another belt thread

I currently have the smallest belt I could find at the time here in the UK, to fit a 26" waist This one in small; which covers 25-35" waist. I have one hole spare and a LOT of excess (9" to be exact, and it's annoying, I have to leave it rolled up all the time to shape the excess). "conforms to IPF standards"

I can order in the UK this one now Strength Shop own brand which comes in a smaller sizing bracket of 20-28" which would be a lot less excess belt - "made to PPF spec"

Cliffs:
The smaller (Strength shop) belt is £20 ($32) cheaper than my current one (Pullems), most belts in the UK (Titan etc. retail at £80-105 ($128 - $168) and my current one cost £60 ($96) and is GOOD quality and conforms to IPF standards. I'm worried that buy paying less, I won't get such a good belt - opinions?

My other option:
Go with a lever belt that has a wider margin but the EXCESS will be INSIDE the belt so should get in the way - but my worry is: will the belt now be TOO thick in places? Smallest I can find is a 20-30" which would have a 4-5" of excess belt.

Looking at INZER their size bands are MUCH smaller. I'm going to call today to see what they have in stock (I am holidaying in the USA) but then I sit inbetween sizes so with a lever do you go smaller or larger?! 22-25" or 26-29" ??!!!

I have an inzer extra small (single prong, not the lever though I hear great things about it too) coming in the mail today or Monday. Will let you know. They have the extra small in stock for both styles in both black and red, but the small black prong-style they do not have, can't remember about the lever. She said there is enough room on the extra small to add a punch or two if needed, which I think would be a little less cumbersome than the extra belt at the end of the larger size. HTH!

I have a strength shop 10mm lever belt and certainly happy with it so far.
