Thoughts on this belt For Women?

[Ramrod]

My wife is to the point she needs a weight belt.. She is 5'4" about 120ish. I'm thinking a 4in 10mm Powerlifting belt like mine will dig into her hips and ribs. Specially on Deadlifts. I want 10mm or so Leather Belt not Nylon one..

Was looking at the Tapered 2.5 x 4in belts many sites carry. ATP, Best Belts, Titan, Andersons and so on. But I would like her to have just a little more belt on the front. Like a 3x4in.. Which I found on ATP's site, but at over $100's.. I'm not sure if I want to spend that much...

Came across this belt...
SCHIEK SPORTS Power Leather Contour Belt 2004 X-Small
It's 4.5in in the back.. And looks to be 2.5 on the sides and 3in on the front... Just guessing...
Thoughts? looks like the benifits of a Leather belt, but a little more form fitting for smaller frames...

i have an Inzer power belt and i woud never wear anything else. just my .02

[nighttrain]

that SCHIEK SPORTS belts looks like it might be more comfortable around the waist, my only concern would be how thick is it and will it provide the support of a 10mm-13mm belt... i would like to see it in person first

Thats what I wanted too...

I'm leaning towards a 3in 10mm or a 2.5x4in 10mm Tapered Belt..

Inzer belt gets my vote Ramrod.
I'm 5'3" and have a very small frame (I use a xx-small belt).
I like the support and I also like the single prong on the belt.

When I first got my Inzer belt (looooong time ago) Mike spent a few hours in front of the TV, working the belt back and forth to loosen and soften up the leather for me.

Is that a 4in or Tapered?


3in Belts I'm looking at...

The 3 Inch Powerlifting Belt

[Beverly McD]

4 inch and tapered.
I sent them a diagram with measurements showing where I wanted the taper to begin.
They never batted an eye! Made it to my specs, no extra charge.

It's been a long time, probably close to 20 years, since I had it done.
Still have the belt and use it all the time.

[Ramrod]

How wide is the front? 2.5in Wonder if they could make a 3in front and 4in back?

[Beverly McD]

I'm not sure the exact measurements on mine, but it's much smaller in the front, probably a couple inches or so.
I have a small frame/waist, and the 4 inch belt all the way around bruised the hell out of my ribs!
I started the taper at the side of my waist.
At that time, they would make it any way you wanted it.
It may be worth a try if you think she'll be lifting for long enough for you to recoup your investment.
