Quick verdict
LiftEvidence editorial assessment
A contoured 4 3/4 in nylon belt with Schiek's one-way friction buckle, which cinches down from the front for a snug, adjustable fit. Owners call it one of the best belts they have used for squats and deadlifts and comfortable enough for dynamic training. It is wider at the back than at the front, which suits general training and bodybuilding but rules it out for federations that require a uniform-width belt, and as a contoured nylon belt it is less rigid than thick leather.
