Can't go wrong with either Cardillo or Inzer.
Stay away from any belt that lists 'velcro' in it's construction.No brain, no gain.

I like my Inzer lever belt.
It is easy to wear it unlatched (but still "buckled") and then quickly latch tight for a set.
It is very adjustable and comfortable, and built to last forever.

I'll second that. Dean and Jackie are known for great customer service, and very fast shipping. Lots of follow-up, which makes for a great experience, really. And their prices include shipping.

Awesome thread. This has been on my mind for awhile.
You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

All the belts above are worthy. I personally can't understand why someone would buy Bobsbelts, at his prices, and wait 6-8 weeks. His Belts are the same as Dean Best's belts made to size and order, plus made in the USA, and Deans are almost half the price, and shipped to you in less than a week.
It's funny, Bob's says to order by Nov. 5th to receive it by Christmas. If you ordered it from Bestbelts by Nov.5th, you would have it in time for Veterans Day and Thanksgiving and Christmas, lol."Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do, than by the ones you did" Mark Twain

I'm no belt expert... I've had 1 belt... and its brand new.
I ordered mine from Best Belts based on the experience of the guys on this site that I consider trustworthy. I emailed Dean with my laundry list of random stats, goals, weights, etc. He sent back a 3 page reply the same day addressing everything. He made my belt for me within the week and shipped it out. I did have it shipped to Canada which took a few extra days but I had it in about 9 business days. I'm still messing with how it and I work together but I can tell you it is of the craftsmanship that is very rare today and worth taking the time to appreciate. It is a very high quality product.()---() York Barbell Club #30 ()---()

This Cardillo belt is almost 20 years old, and has been my constant gym companion in all that time. If it were a car, it would have 250,000 miles on it by now.
Other than some minor scarfs and scrapes from regular use, it's still in perfect condition. Not a loose thread on it anywhere, and the prong holes show zero wear.
No brain, no gain.
