    Default Ader 4" belt

    I bought the ader 4" leather belt on amazon for $51.00 and am extremely impressed. The belt shipped quickly, is very thick and sturdy and is very well made. I couldn't find a thread on this when looking and decided to buy it anyway. Glad I took the risk. If anybody is considering this belt, I would highly recommend it. I will update this post once my back is feeling better and I have squatted in it. Also, I have a 32" waist and should have bought a small. Medium I am on the tightest hole.

    Thanks! I'm also thinking about buying a belt and this seems like a reasonable choice.

    I addressed this just last week, but you can get a better, American-made belt for the same price from Pioneer Fitness, rather than subsidizing Pakistan and getting chrome tanned leather.

    Get the Pioneer belt, people.

    Even more interesting to me is that some manufacturers will go so far as to dye the holes to look like vegetable tanned leather. Suede and black edging can hide cheap leather. I love suede, and get almost all my belts edged, but just know it can serve a dual purpose.
