Inzer lever belt measurements and review

[chunkmo]

I spent forever searching around for some definitive measurement guide on Inzer belts but couldn't find anything, so here is my attempt at clearing up some questions.

I bought a 10mm medium lever belt in black. Smells delicious coming out of the box. Belt and lever come disassembled. No instructions. But seriously, it's like 2 pieces and 2 bolts. Easy. Made from some pretty sexy suede, and pretty high quality leather it seems. You can see the different layers pretty well.



I ordered direct from Inzer on 28th of Dec, 2012 and received it on 14th of Jan, 2013. So ~2.5 weeks delivered to Australia. Not bad considering their reputation. I supposed that's because I bought a black one, which they (usually) have in stock.

My waist (measured around my belly button) is 31" when relaxed. Flexed it's around 30" and if i push it way out, around 33". For me, the belt is set exactly to the middle setting, with 5 holes either side for adjustment. Each hole is 1" apart, so the maximum range of settings will fit a ~26"- 35" waist, though i'd be weary of choosing a medium if you're at either extreme (unless that's specifically what you want). I'm a lean guy and I reckon I sized it perfectly.

The entire belt is 36" long and 3.75" tall, 10mm thick. The edges are finished quite nicely and it seems to be a 3ply belt. Very sturdy. There's a 3.5" difference between open and closed.

Compared to my mates 13mm double prong Bobs Belt, they're about the same stiffness. I honestly don't see the reason to get a 13mm, but it's down to personal preference really. I think 10mm is plenty, even for an advanced lifter.

I like this a lot more than my single prong. Because you've gotta wrench a pronged belt on, you've gotta do the same to get it off. This one you've just gotta flip the lever and it's loose. The only downside is getting it completely off takes a little fiddling as the lever is hooked. It gets easier once you know how to do it though.

Hooked lever. Check out the edge finishing!


Overall, I quite like it and i don't think i'll be buying another belt for a very long time. It comes with the Forever Guarantee™, so if it breaks they'll replace it. Awesome. Hopefully the measurements i've provided help out, as i was completely stumped when trying to buy mine. I actually ended up pausing someones video and counting the holes he had, then comparing to his waist measurements.

Would buy again/10

Repped, you know how many times this question comes up. Good review. I actually got one myself over Xmas delivered from House of Pain. 13mm. First few sessions with it were hell but now that it's slightly broken in it's great.

I think you are incorrect about itbeing3 ply. Mine seems to be one solid piece of leather

He's referring to the suede on the back and the front as being part of the 3 ply...

..Check out the edge finishing!...

I can't tell if you're happy with those edges or not. It is hard to tell from the pics just how yours arrived.
When mine came this past week I was thrilled with everything except the edge finish.
Mine is sharp/jagged and very rough cast in areas, at least it will be until I introduce it to Mr. Dremel.

Call up Inzer first before massacring it. Sounds like a manufacturing defect. It should be a nice edge all the way around like you see in the photos above.

[chunkmo]

Yeah about the 3 ply... I meant it has 2 layers of suede and 1 of leather. Should have been more clear. And the edge finishing is something I like - smooth the whole way around.

The reason for getting a 13mm is that eventually the leather will start bowing outwards. This happens even with a 13mm. If it doesn't, you're either too damned small, not wearing it tight enough, or not using it properly.


One of the reasons I switched to a lever belt, besides the problem with having to constantly adjust the damn thing, is that I got tired of being pinched by it. Another is that I got tired of the lever popping open.

Im 5 foot 9 inches and 205 pounds looking to lose 20 more pounds i wear a 34 waist pants should i go with the medium or the large?

Does anybody know if the lifetime warranty covers the "bowing out" ?

You want the thing to bow out.
It's taking the shape of your body, it will be more comfortable and supportive.

medium for sure...i got the medium with a 32 inch waist and I have like 10 slots open if i get fatter and 4 slots open if i drop weight. a large would be way too big.

That's what I feared. Thanks brah you saved me

[PR_Guy]

Need help thinking about getting medium but not sure.

Measured 35" waist from belly, use 33 pants. OP mention it goes up to 35" but naich mention there are like 10 slots open in a medium with 32" waist.

wow what are the odds that i would find a thread bumped from months ago specifically asking about what i posted. turns out i went fully potato mode. with a 32 inch raise you are more like 4-5 slots open. you could definitely fit into a medium with a 35-36 inch waist. there are "like 10 slots" as you go smaller in waist size. my bad.

but i have found that the belt warps to shape your body over time. its only been with me for 1 year and a month or two, but i haven't changed the lever positioning and i have changed about 2 inches on the waist.

Just to add to the quality of inzer, I had a flood in my house, my. 13mm belt was submerged for several hours. Once dried, it was like it never happened.

Hi guys, I need to know how much does the whole belt weigh?(including the lever kit) I'm planning to get one and have them ship to Thailand. I decided to stop just before putting credit card numbers in, the belt itself cost $97 but the shipping price is $108....So my other option is to pay those people who would carry them oversea an charge by KG. I tried searching google for the detail. But this thread is as close as I can get....

- Can anybody give me an exact number of how much it weigh? I'm planning to get either a medium or a large lever belt 13mm.

- My waist size (currently bulking) is 34" around belly button......6'0" tall 200 LBS BF% is around 18-21% any recommendation???

Thank you

I don't know how much it weighs, but I would get a medium if you plan on going on a cut, or maybe a large if you are going to continue to bulk.

[mickgee]

Excellent review on sizing. One thread listing this info is much better than 1000 threads asking it. What is key is that a belt can always have extra holes added to make it smaller, but never larger.

To add a little bit for those looking at the sizing range of small and medium belts:
Small: 21-32"
Medium: 23-34"

[Chrissuperseal]

Thank you...

I have come to the conclusion that I will be going for a large and if it doesn't fit, then I'll drill new holes in them.

My other option is to go for Crain Belt...

Lever 10 mm.

[Jason2459]

Why are you guys replying many moons late.

[Billatful]

Hey guys,

I know I'm really late on this but I found this thread while doing some research before I order one myself. This would be my first and last belt I will invest on since it will last forever, hopefully.

I'm debating weather I should just get a 10mm or a 13mm lever belt.

I'm at a 42" waist relaxed, 42" around my belly button relaxed and when sucked in I'm at a 38".

According to Inzernet.com's sizing chart, the 10mm and 13mm lever belts are the same sizing but I'm not sure if I should go with a Large (34-38) or a X-Large (39-42). I want the lever to be placed in the mid hole, having enough room to adjust it looser and tighter through time although I do plan on cutting down my waist/bellybutton.

Which size do you guys think I should get?

Thanks.

Bump for a good thread.



I ordered an inzer 10mm lever belt last Thursday and it arrived at my door yesterday. I ordered a large and my pant waist is a 36. When I put the lever on the belt it feels about perfect being right in the middle of the range of holes.

Thanks for your post.. My waist tends to stay in the range of 36-38, or at least my pants/shorts. I'm more confident now on the size selection (large).
