Davvero molto solida, robusta, compatta e ben fatta. Ottima la qualit della pelle, come anche le cuciture e la fibbia in acciaio. Costa quel qualcosa in pi ma ne vale la pena.
I have a Gunsmith Fitness Olympic belt – but decided to try their powerlifting belt. The Olympic belt is great, but the extra all round height of the powerlifting belt – combined with the extra belt thickness (The powerlifting belt is 10mm vs the Olympic belt 6-7mm ) means I feel a lot more support when doing either squatting or deadlifting.
This belt has the same best of breed quality that the Olympic belt has. Don’t go for a mass produced belt, treat yourself to one of these.
Amazing quality belt, probably best I’ve ever used. The leather is extremely comfortable and provides great support. Ive recommended this to several friends already.
Trs bon produit mais je m’attendais un cuir diffrent plus lisse et brillant comme le laisse penser les photos
This belt will last a lifetime of lifting! Wanted something subtle and not too obvious so loved the plain black design of this. It’s easy to get on and off and will definitely last my whole life. So well made and sturdy. Perfect.
Good quality material I’ve had this for a while now and no signs of braking
If your serious about lifting then i strongly recommend this belt. As with all 4 inch belts it may not be the most comfortable thing to wear but if your after comfort then get an Olympic belt as its less likely to pinch and will be a bit softer. In my opinion this is aimed at powerlifters and strongmen.
I’ve been using it for about a month now and its excellent. It gives good support and a tight surface to push against that doesn’t give. The leather is high quality and looks like it will last many years. Good strong buckle that i cant ever see failing.
Only negatives i have is that the coating on the buckle gets very easily removed as any contact with the bar will strip the paint off, would have liked to see something more durable but at the end of the day it doesn’t affect the belts performance in any way so i don’t mind.
Final point isn’t really a negative but should keep in mind that for me this belt pinches a lot. Probably just cos its new and needs breaking in but on most sessions it leaves me with red blood marks around my waist where the bottom of the belt pinches. I wouldn’t let this put you off though because for such a good belt its worth a bit of pain which you’ll get from any 4 inch belt, will probably go once its broken in anyway.
To sum up, its a well made belt that is perfect for the job if you can deal with a bit of discomfort.
his is superb in every way you need and want it to be . such a good strong make quality on both the belt and buckle. it fits like a dream and is comfortable to wear for sure. love how much support it gives and looks pretty damn fine too. i have had many admiring compliments on this belt and can honestly say its now my go to belt.
This belt is clearly high quality. The leather is thick and strong, but it is also supple and there are no hard edges or seams. I think this belt will last a long time as long as you wipe it down and air it out between uses. The buckle feels just as solid and the double prongs and eyelets ensure this belt stays in position. I got my cousin to try the belt and he said the width of the belt and the padded section made it very comfortable to wear.

The belt I received was size XL, Olympic 6/7mm Double Prong. The Double Prong refers to the 2 pins in the buckle used to tighten the belt through a row of double adjustment holes in the belt. The 6/7mm refers to the thickness of the belt. I currently have a 10mm belt, although very strong and supportive, I do find 10mm a little too stiff for me.
I’m impressed by the strength and quality of this belt. The belt is made from what looks like high quality black leather which has been stitched fully around the outside edge. There is a long soft padded area where this sits on the back, making the belt very comfortable to wear.
The metal buckle is big and tough, there is absolutely no way that it’s going to bend or fail. The buckle is secured to the belt by way of the belt being folded back on itself and secured by 4 very large rivets which again are very strong indeed. There are 2 large belt loops for taking up the excess belt once fastened, these again are riveted together for strength.
I am highly impressed by the strength and quality of this belt, it’s comfortable to wear giving good support. In my opinion this is a high end belt at an affordable price – Recommended!
Thank you for reading my review, I hope you have found it helpful.
This is a VERY high quality piece of kit (but then you’d hope so given their blurb). The problem I encountered was that despite following their measuring guidelines and seemingly falling solidly in the middle of the size L range, when it arrived I had to set it to the smallest notch and it still wasn’t tight. HOWEVER, I messaged the supplier who suggested sending it back and getting a Medium – which I’ve done – and that’s done the job. Jolly good.
So, what can I say about it? It’s proper leather, it feels solid and of good quality. I’ve been using it for a month or so now and am finally not bruising my ribs wearing it (it’s very rigid). It gives great support in my squats and deadlifts. It looks super tidy (a number of the serious powerlifters at my gym thought I’d shelled out for a much more expensive brand). It’s good. Hopefully I’ll never have to buy another!
