Giant snaps rule!
I use two big snaps at the edge of the belt, then inside of that on the overlap part, use hooks. So I have a machanically different backup. Call me paranoid. However, I agree with Gia that I have never had a big snap come undone. They are also much easier to fasten than hooks.

It takes a BIG needled and upholstery thread to secure them...but once 'in', you'll need NO pins to secure...I have NEVER had one 'unsnap'!
