✅ PATENT PENDING HYBRID TECHNOLOGY – Element 26 continues to revolutionize the weight lifting market with the introduction of our new Patent Pending hybrid weightlifting belt. Taking the adjustability and ease of use of a nylon lifting belt and combining it with the stability and feedback of a leather belt, we’ve created the perfect weight lifting belt for all lift types.
✅ SELF-LOCKING SECURITY – Get the ultimate in security, adjustability, and safety with the Element 26 Self-Locking system.

✅ BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE: Optimized design by a Doctor of Physical Therapy to provide the perfect amount of intra-abdominal pressure, comfort, and adjustability. Old, outdated prong or lever belt designs rely on set holes or buckles that limit your ability to get the perfect fit during your heavy lifts which limits either comfort or performance.

Solid belt with useful locking mechanism
I picked up this belt to replace my 20-year old belt for use when doing squats and heavy deadlifts. The velcro with my old belt basically couldn’t hold its grip and popped loose several times in the middle of lifts. I prefer a nylon belt with velcro rather than a leather one with pre-set holes and buckle. This new belt is somewhat thick and a bit stiff with its leather components, but still relatively comfortable – characteristics I was looking for in a new belt. The locking mechanism is intended to be a fail safe in case the velcro comes undone because the slack of the belt should remain tight against the locking bar. Because it’s a new belt, the velcro still grips tightly, so I haven’t had to put the locking mechanism to test, but it provides security if needed. I believe one of the main complaints with this belt is because there is a locking bar in the buckle, you can’t make the belt super tight by pulling the end because the locking bar catches the belt in a way that you can no longer pull on it to tighten. I think the best way around that is to suck in your gut and overlap the thick portions of the belt as much as you can to position it tightly, then pull on the belt slack as much as it allows and velcro it down. That should give at least a couple inches of tightness on the belt that you otherwise would not have gotten if you just tried to pull the belt end as much as you can. Note because of the locking mechanism, you need to lift the buckle a certain way to loosen the belt after a set. Not easy to do at first, especially when you’re gasping for air, but easy enough to figure out with practice. Overall, pretty solid belt and has worked great for my purposes.

Great all-around weightlifting/training belt.
Excellent Belt! Fits as described. I love the combo of the leather belt and velcro closure. The leather feels like it provides extra support over other nylon belts I’ve used.

Very good waste belt and Great customer service
I received hybrid belt in 2-3 days. It is very sturdy, well made, and has a nice design. It has self locking mechanism which is great.I bought the small waist belt. My waist is 32″ and the medium starts at 31″ so I thought medium was too big. I contacted the seller because other reviews said the customer service was good. Less than a day later, I received an email from Rachel and within two days, she contacted me saying she would exchange the size. She was very helpful and care. This is the first time I have seen a company with such great customer service. If they have such great customer service, I think I can buy other products with confidence and I will continue to do so. Keep up the good work.

The hybrid leather belt.
Great lifting belt. It’s strong and allows for that flexibility while protecting your back at the same time.

Awesome company and awesome belt
This is a solid weightlifting belt. Very comfortable to wear right now out of the packaging. I love the locking pin in the buckle; I feel very confident in my heaviest lifts without having to worry that the belt will give out on me . It is easy to take on and off and is very well made. I had sizing issues at first . I reached out to the company and they took care of me . All in all I am totally happy with my purchase of this belt.

Okay belt, a bit better design would make it perfect.
Good belt, but I wish it had more Velcro on the outside waist portion of the belt where the tongue attaches. When I want to tighten it up firmer, not enough Velcro for firm attachment.

I can breathe!!
By far one the better belts ive owned.Ive had dual prong and lever belts, but neither compare to this.This built allows for movement in breathing even when you’re strapped in.With other belts ive always had to remove to take a breathe mid set. This allows me to keep compression in my lifts and still breathe. Another issue I had with other belts is pinching. No longer an issue since ive moved to this.

Perfetta per il CrossFit perché pur essendo robusta per le parti di weightlifting è facilmente allentabile per le parti di ginnastica e monostrutturali dei wod.

I was very impressed with this belt indeed. I’ve been using an all-nylon belt up until now and although its convenient, the difference in support and rigidity that you get with this belt is night and day – its next level. The belt is a perfect combination of materials in my opinion, leather for the stiff support, but lined with software fabric, and with a convenient and easy to use fabric strap.The belt is made to a high quality, with double stitches on all seems (see photos). The only part that felt slightly under-engineered is the buckle itself, which felt slightly flimsy and like it could have benefited from slightly thicker gauge metal being used.All in all though this is exceptional quality and value, highly recommended.
