I've been training seriously over 27 years and throught out that time I have owned many many belt. From the crazy expensive belts to the cheap local sports store belts. I've owened single prong double prong and even lever style belts from low profile to hardcore 4 inch powerlifting belts that feel like a cast around your waist. In my honest opinion this Schiek powerlifting belt is in many ways the most comfortable and at the same time just as supportive of a belt as any of those others that I have ever used. I personally own the 3004 not the 3006 model. I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall I hear that the 3006 works better for people that are taller? No digging into your ribs or hips no pain or discomfort at all just real solid support when you need it and extremely comfortable. Give this belt a serious try I promise you wont regret it!

This is a great lifting belt. I like that it's a different color and is easy to identify. It fits well. because it has the buckle and then under the velcro it can be cumbersome to take off and on to loosen it. but other than that a sturdy belt.
