Size Guide

Pioneer Weightlifting Belt Sizing

Weightlifting/Power Lifting Belts are worn well above where you wear your shorts or pants, this means they are worn above the hip bones.

Your pant size is NOT your weight belt size.

To measure for the correct size, use a pliable measuring tape or seamstress tape. Measure around your waist, about 4 inches above where your pants are. *Do not “suck in”, measure in a relaxed state, then pull the measuring tape tight.

Use this measurement to choose your correct LEATHER WEIGHT belt size.

  • X-Small - 22"- 31"
  • Small - 27"- 36"
  • Medium - 31"- 40"
  • Large - 35"- 44"
  • X-Large - 39"- 48"
  • XX-Large - 43"- 52"

Use this measurement to choose your correct  NYLON/HYBRID belt size.

  • X-Small - 19"- 25"
  • Small - 24"- 30"
  • Medium - 29"- 35"
  • Large - 34"- 40"
  • X-Large - 39"- 45"
  • XX-Large - 44"- 50"

If you have any questions about your belt size or need a custom size, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

We are not able to accept returns on most belts due to wrong size.

Please make sure you review our sizing guide before purchasing.

How do you choose the right lifting belt thickness?

Great quality belt extremely sturdy and thicker than what I had before. My only issue (not warranting to lose a start) is that because it's also thicker than what I previously had its taking much longer to break in and its even negatively impacting my squat currently and bruising me, but these should all be fixed within a month.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

I want to say what an amazing weight belt this is, I am so happy! I have several high end belts, and Pioneers Lever Belt is by far superior in every way. The belt is extremly high quality and is absolutly beautiful. It is crafted with the very best of leather with suede finish, which reminds me of the interior on my friends 2025 Porsche Turbo. The thickness is perfect and with that amazing adjustable lever it fits like a glove.

If you want a quality product look no furthur this belt is all you need.

Thank You Pioneer

Great belt, very stiff out the box

Great belt, but does feel overly stiff out of the box. My lifting coach Pete Rubish recommended it. I’m going to stick with this belt, but it’s bruising me up good, since the edges hit both my hip bones and ribs. Keep this in mind if you can’t afford a dip in your training during the initial break in process. I’m 6’1 , 215lbs. Decent lifter, close to a 600lb pull at this point.

I went with the in stock, standard lever, size medium. Hoping that the edges soften over time since those are what really hurts. Clearly great craftsmanship on this belt, and a great company, and will hopefully last many years.

One thing id say is that id probably pay a bit more for a screwdriver to be delivered with it because i have none that are a good size for the screws

Solid black!!!

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.

Solid and well made

This is the best belt I have had. The buckle system is solid and gives plenty of room for adjustment. The belt itself is high quality.

So sturdy

Excellent belt. Gave myself a headache the first time I used it because I wasn’t used to that much support to brace against. Squats feel a lot more stable, gonna be hard not to rely on the belt too much now. Excited to see where it takes me though.

1.5 year update

This belt has been a real game changer and while there are great belts on the market like the sbd belt and other lever belts, pioneers pal system lever is unmatched and has helped me a lot in making every training session feel supported. If your someone who has a hard time finding a sweet spot with belt position then I suggest picking up a pioneer belt

Built like a tank

I ordered both the double suede 10mm and all leather 13mm to see which one would be a better fit for me. Decided to keep the 13mm as it was not much thicker. I feel that in the long run it will hold up better and it will mold to my body with time. My workouts have improved switch the belt. Their customer service folks are great too. Lastly, I like the adjustability of the belt over Inzer.

Awesome belt, upgraded from my awsome 10mm suede belt from them. Same great quality. Helps you hold that really tight pressure in your heavy lifts

Bought this as my middle son’s first lifting belt! He loves it! Looking forward in a few years to get him his first custom belt, providing he sticks with powerlifting as his sport. Belt is solid construction and will last him for years as a training tool. Easy to use. Easy to maintain. Worth every penny spent!
