Overview
A nylon weight lifting belt from Schiek, about 4 3/4 inches wide at the back and tapering toward the hips, closed with a hook-and-loop buckle for a quick, snug fit. Built for lifters who want back and core support during squats, deadlifts and overhead work.
Several reviewers with shorter torsos found the standard size chart runs big and sized down a step, so check your actual waist measurement rather than the chart alone. One long-time user called it strong for everything except the very heaviest attempts, and another noted the velcro began wearing after about four months of regular use.
- 4 3/4 inch contoured nylon belt
- One-way velcro buckle system
- USA made per one reviewer
- Descending angle follows natural back shape
Who it's for
Fits crossfit lifters, general strength trainers, and people with shorter torsos or high hips who found other belts dug in. Not aimed at max-effort single-rep powerlifting, where a rigid prong belt is the usual choice.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers repeatedly praise the contoured fit for shorter torsos and high hips, the fast velcro adjustment, and the back support it gives during squats and deadlifts. The recurring complaint is velcro wear after several months of heavy use, and one lifter felt it came up short only on their heaviest sets.
