ProFitness Weight Lifting Belt (5mm Thick) - Leather Weight Belt for Men & Women - Back Support Squat Belt - Gym Belt for Weightlifting, Powerlifting & Deadlifts | Adjustable Weightlifting Belt

This review is for the ProFitness leatherlifting belt in small. I am in no way affiliated with this company or vendor, and I was not provided anything in exchange for this review.Before buying this belt, I did extensive research on lifting belts. I wanted a leather belt that would last for life, but I also didn't want to pay over $50. The Inzer Forever Belts, while really nice, were just a tad out of my price range. Perusing Reddit and fitness forums, folks seemed to suggest a 4" non-tapered leather belt, so that was my goal.After all my research, it came down to this belt and the Dark Iron Fitness leather lifting belt. From what I can tell from pictures, the two seem nearly identical apart from price (the ProFitness was a few dollars cheaper and had free same-day shipping) and the fact that the Dark Iron Fitness includes a lifetime warranty. I don't see any mention of a warranty on the ProFitness belt, and since I didn't notice the warranty on the Dark Iron Fitness until after purchasing this belt, I hope I don't regret my decision. I'm going to ask the vendor to clarify whether the ProFitness belt includes a warranty.MATERIAL - The leather is very thick yet pliable. It feels much more expensive than it actually cost and has a nice quality suede backing.STYLING - The logo is a tad large but is simple enough. I actually kind of like it. The red contrasting stitching looks really great against the black leather and won't show dirt quite like white stitching would (part of why I chose the red).BUCKLE - I'm glad that I opted for a double buckle. The buckle is very sturdy without being too heavy or bulky. It feels nice on and doesn't pinch, even when I'm carrying a little extra fluff around the midsection. I feel like I could like a ton of weight and the buckle would never fail on me. I do wish there were a small leather flap under the buckle like I've seen with a few other leather lifting belts, which would prevent the inevitable cold shock when the metal buckle touches bare skin in the case of my shirt riding up.FIT - Measured at navel level, my true waist measures 30.5" without cinching the tape measurer, so I decided on a small. This was the right choice. During lifts, I cinch the belt to the third set of holes from the end, which seems to serve a nice balance between not being able to breathe and having enough abdominal pressure. If I wear the belt over a thicker top or coat, the second set of holes works nicely.PERFORMANCE - I definitely saw an immediate improvement in my lifts, particularly squats. The belt allowed for exceptional intrabdominal pressure, and it kept my form tight. I instantly added weight to all my lifts. So far, I've used the belt for squats, deadlifts, and overhead press, and my form feels a lot more solid during max sets. I initially experienced some slight pinching during deadlifts, but I played with the position of the belt a bit, and it doesn't seem to be a problem now.All in all, this is a very solid, well-made leather lifting belt. I expect this to last for a long time and will hopefully update my review as a use this throughout the next few years.EDIT: I talked with Troy, the lovely gentleman who sells these belts, and it does come with a lifetime warranty. Highly recommend this product based on customer service alone - his responses were prompt and very friendly. Five stars.

Cinto é realmente de qualidade.Mais infelizmente se precisar trocar,no meu caso,acabei comprando o tamanho errado, sem chance,ele não trocam.Depois de muito custo recebi o reembolso, tentei devolver o produto duas vezes, gastei 157 de frete e produto voltou para meu endereço.

The quality of leather is really good, and the texture is smooth!

Un producto de gran calidad, tengo una de más de un año y sigue como nueva. Muy confortable al hacer el ejercicio, te sientes muy seguro al usarla. Sin duda la recomiendo al 100%
