Overview

Two layers of genuine leather, 5mm thick and 10cm wide, make up this weightlifting belt, closed with a 2-prong buckle. It's built for squats and deadlifts, giving the lower back and core something firm to brace against under load.

  • 5mm thick, 10cm wide leather
  • 2-layer genuine leather build
  • 2-prong buckle closure
  • Debossed logo detail

Who it's for

Suits lifters doing squats, deadlifts or other heavy barbell work who want a firm leather belt for bracing, rather than a soft nylon belt for general gym support.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewers describe the belt as sturdy, well made and true to size, with one crediting it directly for a deadlift personal record and another noting the dye hasn't bled onto clothing after weeks of daily use. The main caution raised is to size up if your waist sits near the top of a listed range, since the belt fits snug there.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • 5mm thick, 2-layer genuine leather construction
  • 2-prong buckle holds under heavy load
  • True to size, dye hasn't bled onto clothes
  • Budget price for a leather belt
What to check first
  • Fits snug at the top of its size range
  • No adjustment beyond the punched holes

Performance notes

At 5mm thick and 10cm wide, the belt is stiff enough to brace against during a heavy lift, and the 2-prong buckle is meant to lock in place rather than slip under load. One reviewer specifically credited it with helping a deadlift personal record.
