Ive been a die hard pionner fan since 2023. And everything ive gotten from sleeves to belts are always solid. Had to go up to 6xls cause legs grew haha. Solid sleeves. Pro grade material. Not gonna find anything better
Excellent quality powerlifting belt from Pioneer.
I was kept updated throughout every step of the process, from placing the order to shipping. International delivery was extremely fast.
The value for money is exceptional, especially considering that the belt is custom-made to order.
Outstanding quality, great service, and fast shipping. Highly recommended!
By far the best belt I’ve ever owned! I can wear it really tight and it’s still really comfortable. Makes my back feel so supported. Even hit 2 PRS using it! Don’t waste your money on cheap belts invest in yourself it will be worth it I promise
Second blemished belt that I find perfect
So needless to say I upgraded a 10mm lifting large belt 👍👍👍
Please keep these coming … got 2 more lever belts to bring up
Solid belt (literally) this is a super rigid belt perfect for holding a holster. I personally use it everyday even though i sit in an office. I cant wait to see how it is when i fully break it in!
They look and function as they should. They go over the calf fine but when squatting they squeeze the ligaments behind the knee a bit. Hopefully they are good for my meet in December. Idk if usapl will allow them. We’ll see if they do.
Belt is beautiful! Stitching was perfect on the custom lettering on the back. Overall this belt is solid, can’t wait to see what it feels like once I break it in.
It keeps coming undone. For the price paid, I would think that the latch would stay locked. Other than that, it’s great but going to have to buy a new latch for it
Hey Julie, that definitely should not be happening with a PAL V2. I will have someone from our customer support team reach out to you.
This belt is amazing. you can feel and see the quality of the craftsmanship in the belt. Barely any break-in period required. Was able to use it right away with effectively. Pioneer has a customer for life!
I'm just an average gym bro living in Korea. My current belt collection includes an SBD 10mm, a Pioneer 13mm PAL (both Double Suede and All Leather), and this 8.5mm PAL.
Out of all of them, I feel like the 8.5mm belt has the most well-rounded performance. It fits perfectly around my body, doesn't interfere with natural movement, and still provides solid support for bracing. (Sometimes when I wear 13mm, I feel like Legoman or Steve)
Of course, compared to thicker belts that are specifically designed for maximum bracing support, it does fall a little short. But even so, I find it more than capable for lifts around a 240 kg deadlift and a 200 kg squat.
That said, there are some people I wouldn't recommend this belt to. I've trained without a belt for a long time, so the difference in the amount of weight I can lift with or without a belt isn't particularly dramatic.
I'd recommend this belt if you use a belt primarily as a tool to help with bracing. However, if you're looking for a belt to act more like a brace or splint that prevents your spine from flexing, this probably isn't the belt for you.
Had it now for about a year beautiful piece to have helps so much witb lifts hasnt worn down even in the slightest good job !
This is such an amazing belt!The company made this belt with great quality!After doing hours of research this seemed to be the best bang for your buck!And boy was I right! This was a great buy!I feel very secure with this built when lifting heavy!Sizing was very accurate!I would definitely recommend this belt !If your on the fence just buy it !You wont regret it!
I followed the sizing chart and even showed my gym friends and work colleagues for a sanity check - it’s no where near correct.
I’ve never had size for anything - a belt, a shirt, a shoe, a car part, anything really in any context, be so far off.
I paid shipping to Australia and the cost of shipping the product back is almost the same as the cost of the knee sleeve.
Ultimately, it’s a few hundred dollars wasted and I’ll move on with life, but I feel particularly filthy about the sizing chart’s unreliability and it’s changed my view on an otherwise exceptional brand (your products are high quality and I have multiple of your belts).
Hi Jay, I am sorry to hear about the sizing issues and the inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback. I understand the shipping cost back from Australia is pretty high. I have instructed our customer support team to refund your money as opposed to paying for the shipping to get them replaced. If you want to purchase a new pair in a different size, please reach out to us by email or via Instagram and we can discuss the sizing to make sure you get a better fit, because they are definitely hard to size correctly for.
I installed the Pioneer Adjustable Lever (PAL) - V2 on my P.L.College Power Belt Light, and I’m very happy with it.
Being able to adjust the tightness across five settings is extremely convenient. I can easily change the fit depending on the exercise, such as squats or deadlifts, as well as whether I’ve eaten a full meal or have an empty stomach, or whether I’m wearing thicker or lighter clothing. Best of all, I can make these adjustments without having to use a screwdriver every time.
I purchased the blemished version, but there was no noticeable paint chipping or anything else that bothered me at all.
It was a great purchase, and I’m very satisfied.
P.L.Collegeの「パワーベルト ライト」にPioneer Adjustable Lever (PAL) - V2を装着しましたが、とても満足しています。
締め具合を5段階で調整できるのが非常に便利です。スクワットやデッドリフトなど種目に応じてはもちろん、空腹時か満腹時か、厚着か薄着かといった状況に合わせて、毎回ドライバーを使うことなく簡単に調整できるのが素晴らしいです。
傷あり品を購入しましたが、目立つ塗装剥げなどもなく、まったく気になりませんでした。
とても良い買い物ができ、満足しています。
This is my 3rd leather pioneer belt. Still have all the others. Just wanted something to wear while I’m doing something more like power building and got it for a screaming deal. Im 6’ but have a short torso/short distance between hips and ribs. So the 3” belt works well for me. Love the pioneer holes, easy to lock it in right where I need it. Solid as ever. No slip with the suede. It’s just a fantastic belt. Much like all their stuff.
I couldn’t find a blemish 🤷♂️put this on my inzer belt and it fit and worked great. Pretty sure i would have saved $$$ if i got a full set up thtough pioneer… but inzer had the red white n blue belt .. oh well.. great lever
Needed a 13mm belt and I was not disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship. Pioneer belts are the best
These are one of the greatest pieces of kit I have. I have tried other well known knee sleevesbut these by far ste the best. Pioneer competition knee sleeves give me the stability i need snd the confidence in the hole and the best rebound out. This will be the only sleeves i will use moving forward.
I bought both of my kids one of these belts during the over stock sale. The quality is excellent and the smaller adjustments are perfect. I currently use the lever version of this belt (3”) and it’s the best belt I have ever used.
I’ve never had stiff knee sleeves before, only ever had the gym reapers 7mm sleeves and the STrong mark bell sleeves from back in the day. The pioneer sleeves blow both of those out of the water, they’re in a league of their own entirely
I wanted to like these, got them for a comp in June and they have already started to fray/elastic tearing after two months. Not as snug anymore.
Edit: Customer service is impeccable as always, they sent new wrist wraps!
Hi Tyler, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the wear issues. I will have a new pair shipped out to you ASAP.
This is probably about my 5th belt now from pioneer as ive gone through different sizes and different variations between lever belts etc. Will always only choose pioneer for my belt needs! Buy with confidence here, best quality there is!
Great level belt! Out of the box, it already was very flexible, and assembly was easy. I look forward to many great sessions in this belt
I have had this belt for three and a half years, and through thick and thin this belt has lived up to the pioneer name of outstanding quality. I have abused the absolute hell out of this belt and not once has it showed any sign of wear. 10/10 would buy again.
