Best Belts Powerlifting Belt Review www.bestbelts.net
Dean Best has a serious powerlifting belt made in the USA belt (North Carolina). I've previously owned a Sheik Belt (black fabric), a Altus tapered thin leather belt, and a 10mm Inzer Forever Lever Belt. The Inzer belt never really broke in. I hated wearing it because it benched my stomach and bruised my hips/ribs.
I ordered the soft belt (leather has been softened a little, but just as solid) It arrived in about 5 business days. Ships free. Dean put a few extra holes in the LARGE size, so that it would fit me when I diet for my next show. It's about a 12mm belt, offers great support for my next Power Lifting Meet.
Quality: 10/10 - roller, buckle, and leather all very heavy and solid
Look/feel: 10/10 - great looking black suede
Value: 10/10 - can't beat it for the service and price

Athlete Suede Powerlifting Belt
Price: $54.00
There is no compromise on quality of this belt. It is made from one strip of heavy sole leather. Then your choice of color of deep drum dyed suede is added to both sides. It has four rows of high quality thread sewed on it. The buckle is made of heavy steel with a solid seamless roller buckle.
This belt has a broke in feel but still gives tremendous support for any upright lifting. Hours of detail go into building this belt. It demands time and quality materials for it to be a true custom belt by Best Belts and it gets it. The Athlete has made thousands of lifters happy during the last 30 years. Available in the standard firm version or a soft version for that broken in feel.
Best Belts Powerlifting belt
Happen to come across this forum little while back looking for details on powerlifting belts. Being a first time user of a REAL belt I wanted to make sure I was getting and paying for the right one. With that said I took a lot of your advice called Dean , played phone tag for couple days over the holidays. He ended up calling me little later in the night and laid out in complete detail what I would need and should expect from his belts. BAM!! With service like that I was most definately purchasing a belt and I did 40 minutes later once I reached work. That was Sunday night belt was shipped on Wednesday and received Friday. Belt is every bit what he explained to me and comparing to the other named brand belts in the gym Deans ranks right at the top. The new layout for your waist size should help a lot of people as well with growth and loss of weight. He has moved the sizing to the middle hole of the belt according to your waist size around the belly button and given an extra 3 to 4 inches each way. Also offsetting the tongue loop for a much easier tuck and flatter laying belt. Thanks for the forum and Thanks Dean for a very informative 40 minutes.
