The ratchet feature on the belt has been nice, but over time the strap has become frayed and now gets caught in the mechanism. This belt has only been used by me in my home gym, usually 2 times a week.

I got this belt for Mother’s Day. It was too small so exchanged for a bigger size with no issues at all. My belt is great and it gives me so much more confidence and stability. I have been able to also wear it backwards for the log clean and press and it has helped me increase my press.

This definitely fulfilled my need for a heavy duty weight belt however I almost feel like it would be better if we had some kind of suspenders strapped to it going over your shoulders so that in between sets you can just loosen it up and let it hang. As it is now I loosen it up and keep it just a little bit snug but over the cost of the workout it would feel like it would be much easier with the suspender like suspension system other than that it's exactly what I needed.

Hello, to everyone considering to buy this belt, i would really recommend it especially for compound movements as the Squat and the Deadlift, it is not biting the skin as a leather belt when you are at the bottom of a Deadlift or a Squat, you can always get your tightness regardless of what you are wearing on the day, the problem i found was with the Sizing, my waist is 42.5 inches and according to the sizing guide, i should be an XL, but in fact when i got my XL size belt, it almost fit me but was on the larger size and i couldn't get that "wall" to push my belly against, i am 230 pounds and a bit squishy in my mid section, so take into consideration your "squish factor" when ordering this belt, anyway i've modified the belt by placing the strap a little bit further down the belt, so now i always have an overlap which is great because i have more support this way and i made my own custom size to fit me, so i didn't need to send it back and everything is fine in my case.

Performed better then expected, the loop on the one side looks to be secured with thread and adhesive and it looks like the adhesive had broken but still very solid

I thought this would be a nice replacement for my echo rogue belt and boy was I wrong. I’m no athlete by any stretch of the imagination, just an average guy l trying to maximize his strength. First off I went by spuds sizing and ordered a size down according to their measurements, the bet itself feels and looks high quality but today I was excited to go heavy with it. I strapped up and put it a little higher above my belly button because that’s my sweet spot for my leather belt and upon lifting it I didn’t feel that “wall” you feel when you push against a regular belt, instead I felt like I was pushing up against a slim piece of rope and felt little to no assistance at all, it felt like my insides were leaking out. I know all about breathing techniques and intra abdominal pressure and I only use a belt on my last 2 or three heavy sets but this belt is a no go for me, not to mention the ratchet doesn’t hold a good grip when you’re pushing against the belt, I felt it loosening a bit during my lockout and had to readjust multiple times despite following the direction of making sure the strap wraps around the inside of the ratchet at least once. Take my experience for what it’s worth and if you’re on the fence about buying one and you already have a leather belt; stick to the leather, I’m never abandoning my rogue echo ever again

This belt is just what we needed. My son squats pretty heavy and the belts with velcro just were not secure enough and were not dependable once the velcro had some age on it. This belt is very sturdy and the ratchet tightener is great. My son feels more secure when he squats just knowing that the belt is not going to give out at the bottom of the squat! We did order one size big initially and the exchange was fast and easy.

So have been through multiple sessions of deadlifts and squats with this belt and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Very comfortable and easy to use. Allows you to really get that bracing for those heavy lifts. Great belt
