    Default Which belt to get?

    I've got a velcro one that's a bit too small for me. Want a proper one for Christmas.

    I know it's been discussed and I have searched the forum, with a lot of recommendations going to Zulu belts. My question: which do I get?

    From what I can tell 10mm are the best and are the max width for a PL federation I might want to lift in next year

    Cheers

    Zuluglove is British & European retailer. So I am assuming Kregna is based over here.

    Zuluglove are the best reasonably priced belts available here. You can go cheaper and get an unbranded belt from ebay/amazon like this which are very similar and perfectly good. But Zuluglove belts are slightly better and have a easy release buckle system which really helps get the belt off fast.

    For easy tightening of the belt I recommend getting a double prong and putting a shoelace through the last two holes. You can hook this onto a squat rack, lean back and tighten belt easily. Otherwise is pain and takes forever to get belt on tight enough.

    If you are small dont rule out velcro or tapered belts.

    Lever belts stretch, especially if they are cheaper ones. They are all quite expensive and I dont think any are worth it. Zulu glove double prong+Dastardly's patented shoelace tightening system is the best option I think.

    Elite fts and rogue both have international shipping and both sell decent looking belts.

    Inzer, BestBelts and BobsBelt (more expensive) are all good.
    I am sure you can get Inzer in UK.

    Andy Bolton is the official outlet for inzer products in the UK. But with most american stuff, it will be double the price once over here.

    Is there some development in Europe? I need to get a belt but I can't find anything.

    I love the BestBelt's Athlete but they charge $65 for shipping to Czech Republic and with the tax it gets to a grand total of $180 for a belt .

    I recommend Titan belts distributed by Pullum Sports for my friends across the pond.
