These are great! My first pair ever so there a learning curve.

Great product use it every day

I selected pioneer for the quality and time they pour into crafting the belt details I chose. Not only does it protect me during my lifts but it looks great too. I get compliments all the time!

Quality is insane.

We have been getting these for our dogs for years. Quality is top notch. From lifting belts, to dog collars, Pioneer is second to none.

This is my Second Belt from Pioneer . Like the last one is still fine I was just sick of looking at it because it’s 9 years old. This one exceeded my expectations. It was not surprising because that’s what they always do well done again Matt and Crew.

Awesome little addition

A plus to every belt

Pioneer quality masculine

Needless to say I started wearing sleeves in my mid 40s after many knee issues and injuries from previous careers (military & LE). Decided to go with a more ridged sleeve and landed on Pioneer. So, I broke a sweat just getting these sum bitches on my legs (I wear a 5x). Then I realized I couldn’t reach down and get my lifting shoes on and my daughter started laughing at me. She asked me if I was getting ready for the old folks home? Teenagers are funny. I would have ran after her but the best you’re going to do with these things on is either squat heavy or waddle quickly like a fat kid at an all you can eat buffet.

So I instead waddled out to the garage with my new level of low self esteem and wonderment of how in the hell am I going to get out of these when I’m done? Then I thought to myself, is this how women feel in spanks?! Respect ladies! Because I don’t feel sexy in these but I am wondering again how am I going to get out of these, do I ask my son or call 911?

Okay, seriously walking around in these suck. But you’ll get used to them. So walking around to get plates sucks but it is what it is. Resting in between sets, if you sit, you can straighten your legs, minimal discomfort or if you bend them, it’ll suck but you get used to it. My squat felt good, it usually does, it winter out here in Nor Cal so mid 40s in garage. These keep my knees warm and stable. My top set was 405 for 5, felt good out of the hole, usually if my knees are going to bug me it’s here as a sticking point and I grind out of it. Then I’m feeling them the rest of the day.

This far, highly recommend. I’m sure they’ll get easier to put on and off the more I use them. I don’t want to take them with on vacation and have to ask a stranger to help me with them. But at first, they feel like torture devices! But get over it. They’re great. Love em!

Got these to try them out, so far so good. Very well made, and definitely serve their purpose perfectly.

Dieting down a weight class I ended up to small for my old belt. Wanted simple and clean. Pioneer checks those boxes completely. Solid and is going to take some breaking in, but it will last forever like my other pioneer belts. Never a doubt when I order from Matt and his crew. Best in the business.

Heavy duty, it took a few weeks to break in. Feels like a lifetime purchase item with plenty of room to adjust, the leather and lever are very high quality. The sizing guide is spot on.

Needed a belt for compounds and couldn’t rationalize spending 300+ on an SBD one so people at my gym told me Pioneer was high quality but MUCH cheaper. They weren’t lying the belt is super nice quality (you will need to break it in), very easy to assemble, and arrives quickly. I have absolutely no complaints my only one is that I didn’t go with Pioneer sooner. Advice also get the V2 pal lever not the normal one it is 100% worth it.

Belt is an incredible tool used to optimise all of my lifts. It has been a staple in my training for weeks. My only recommendation would be to size up if you're in between belt sizes
