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

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.

I'm satisfied with my Pioneer Belt.. and my Best Belt... but maybe we'll get a chance to review this one for a promo, too:
Amazon.com: Powerlifting Belt / Weightlifting Belt (Lever & Prong) - 4 Inches Wide, 13MM - No Taper for Maximum Support & Protection - Best for Deadlift, Squat, and more - For Women & Men: Sports & Outdoors
Also.. wrist wraps with left and right thumb holes:
Amazon.com : Wrist Wraps (18", Professional Quality) by Evolutionize: Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Weight Lifting Wrist Supports for Weight Training. (Black - Heavy Duty, 18 Inches) : Sports & Outdoors
I just took a look at the Evolutionize belt. Look at the holes for the prong, and around the buckle. See the gray between the suede? That's chrome tanned. Vegetable tanned, like Dean uses with Best Belts and Matt uses with Pioneer belts, is superior, and worth the extra cash.
