 Great belt for the price! Feb 07, 2011
By BigDaddySC
I had a large leather weight-lifting belt that I hated because of its shape. It would either cut into my rib cage or drive into my hip areas causing discomfort while squatting or deadlifting. I thought about buying a nice, thick, expensive Inzer, etc. but I'm losing weight and didn't want to have to buy several different pricey belts over the course of my weight loss. Plus, I wanted to try a foam core belt.
Well, I did some research and an amateur strongman that I know and respect recommended the Valeo series belts as a cheaper priced belt that wasn't leather but was still good. I've been using this belt for about four months and I really like it. It is easy to adjust and it has a lengthy velcro section to fit a wide variety of waistlines for its listed size. It's also very comfortable to wear. The only thing that might be a problem is the metal portion may be the weakest link but I'll take it over plastic any day.
Many people will tell you that you need an expensive leather belt for lifting and I agree that folks lifting some serious tonnage really should get a high end leather belt. As for me, I don't see myself competing in powerlifting meets, squat and deadlift super impressive numbers, etc. The Valeo belt serves it's purpose by helping me keep my core tight during my heavier sets and it doesn't come loose. When I finish my weight loss maybe I'll consider getting an expensive belt but I'll probably stick with the Valeo.

Great backsaver Jul 28, 2009
By tundracat
I use this belt when lifting heavy things around the house. I'm a 54 year old woman and I find this a backsaver when lifting things like the air conditioner that needs to be put in the window. It's also great if you need to stack wood. It's light and I'd recommend it to anyone that does heavy (or not so heavy) lifting around the house.

Good Value Oct 24, 2007
By Tree Farmer
In my line of work, a sore back is often a condition which results from my many years of work. Wearing this belt is both a comfort and an injury preventative action. It is also cheaper than chiropractic copays.

 size matters Aug 28, 2011
By theone7600
I don't dought that the belt is a quality belt, however my only suggestion
Would be to include the approximate waist sizes for each belt instead of just
Having L, XL sizes available.

great and flexible support Jul 04, 2009
By Edson S. Wagatsuma
"EW"
I have used a heavy duty and a elastic type work belt for my back problems. This one is just right. I can use it for the gym and use it around the house for my back problem. It is also flexible enough that I can wear it to work under my shirt.
