Yea I don't know why but belts have never kept my pants up (i still wear one though) pants never fit me right. Shorts seem to be okay though. Yea I'm weird.

Are they elastic-y shorts? Or maybe the shorts just have the right waist measurement. Or its your lower legs that pull them down.
Usually if pants slide down, it just means they're too small (or too big obviously). I had the problem where I could never find a pair of pants that fit with my calves, as my calves are gigantic. So the pressure from my calves would always bring the pants down as I walked. Fortunately, I mostly wear slacks and look for that when I try on pants or jeans. Nothing more awkward than pants that don't fit, especially combined with any kind of protection!
Plus, belts look great!
