  • Made of nylon so it’s durable and comfortable
  • Foldable so it doesn’t take up much space in your gym bag
What Needs Improvement...

  • Velcro doesn’t run the full length of the belt, and some reviews state it frays pretty quickly
  • Quite thin for a weightlifting belt

Product Summary

One tip is to not go off your pants size when ordering this belt. Instead, you should measure the circumference of your navel and use that number to determine which size you should order.

Want more proof of its power? CrossFit athlete Christine Middleton wore this exact belt when she set the CrossFit record for the clean and jerk at 265 pounds in June of 2021. If it could work for her, it can work for you as well.
