Pioneer Lever Double Suede Belt PAL V2

Unlike traditional lever belts that require a screwdriver to adjust, the PAL V2 features a patent-pending design that lets you tighten or loosen the fit in half-inch increments on the fly. This makes it much easier to adjust your belt between sets or if your waist size fluctuates during a training cycle.

It is approved for use in most powerlifting federations, but it is not IPF-approved. If you compete in an IPF-affiliated federation, you will need to choose a different belt.

Yes, the suede lining on both the interior and exterior is specifically designed to increase friction against your clothing and skin, which significantly reduces the chance of the belt sliding or shifting while you are bracing.

A 10mm thickness is the industry standard for most powerlifters. It provides a rigid, supportive structure that is stiff enough to offer excellent core support for heavy squats and deadlifts, while still being slightly more comfortable and easier to break in than a 13mm belt.

The belt is built for durability with bonded nylon thread, so it requires very little maintenance. To keep it in top shape, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after sweaty sessions and let it air dry away from direct heat to preserve the suede.
