Abstract
A belt or belt-type support device includes a pair of straps, each having one of a complementary pair of pads of a hook and loop-type fastener system. A removable shield is placed over the surface of one of the pads to preclude inadvertent, premature engagement of the hooked and looped surfaces when the belt is placed in position around the waist of the wearer. Once the belt is properly positioned, the shield may be removed to facilitate engagement of the hook and loop fastener system.
