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 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
Bought my first pioneer belt last week. Leaps and bounds better than my old belt. Will definitely be getting another in the future.
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.
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!
This belt absolutely exceeded any expectations I had the clasp is amazingly convenient. Very easy to install. I comfortably increased my dead lift 70 pounds the first time I wore this belt training. And it has given me the confidence to start training my squat again. I recommend it to everybody and post it on Facebook regularly now. If you are anywhere in between or second-guessing, I am not some kind of an affiliate. I don’t have a link I won’t make any money for saying any of this. I 100% would recommend this to a friend or family member. I wore many different kinds of weightlifting belts on base in the Marine Corps. This by far is the nicest piece of gear I have ever used/owned as it pertains to gym equipment. Thanks Pioneer, out here screaming your guys’ name. 🫡
shipping took a long time but worth it for thr sleeves(the sleeves are awesome)
Best belt out there ive gone through them all and none of them compare to this one.
Love the build love the quality definitely worth the price
Both the belt and belt buckle are great quality. The Pal buckle is fantastic as yoy dont need to constanrly adjust the belt
The quality of the item is great, very fitting as to be expected and will be a committed customer of Pioneer from now on!
I am honestly frustrated, i measured the circumference of my calfs (which are notably small haha), and the most i could get was 13inches which put me in the medium section.
however, I was unable to pull them over my calfs. When I try and roll them up and unfold them on itself, i am able to get it over the knee, but it is so tight that i begin to loose feeling in my toes after a few minutes of wearing.
It’s frustrating because these feel high quality, but their sizing chart is completely wrong. There is no point in returning it as I am in canada and would have to pay a fortune in shipping. So i am stuck with an un-usable product. The lever belt i also ordered is amazing quality though
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.
