I purchased this belt with my only previous experience being the standard chain belts, this belt works so much better and is built really well. My main training is weighted calisthenics so I looked at this one and the slightly more expensive version from gravity fitness but determined this one better as the reviews on the other comment on the small clips used etc.
The design allows self tightening but still remaining comfortable due to the nice firm padding around the waist. So far I've used mainly on weighted dips and pull ups, using a variety of weights such as plates and kettlebells, it's been able to hold them all.
The materials along with metal pieces are high quality and sturdy. Particularly the metal loops and clip are heavy duty and seem like they are designed to hold alot of weight - overall very impressed and would highly recommend. Well done strength shop.
