Our take
The BraceUP relies on a slim 10 cm design that follows the curve of the back, with an inner lining for comfort. It is a support belt rather than a rigid lifting belt: it reassures the lower back without locking movement.
It suits squats and deadlifts in the gym. For a stiffer leather model, look at the Fitgriff leather weightlifting belt instead. Either pairs well with Fitgriff wrist wraps.
What we like
- + Slim 10 cm design
- + Comfortable inner lining
- + Flexible support on heavy loads
What to know
- - Less rigid than a leather belt
- - Measure your waist before buying
