Our take
The Fitgriff belt is real cowhide leather, stiffer than neoprene models. That rigidity gives your core something to push against on heavy squats and cleans, provided you get the right size.
The leather needs a little breaking in. It pairs with Fitgriff wrist wraps and Fitgriff lifting straps for a coherent strength kit. For softer support, the BraceUP weightlifting belt is another option.
What we like
- + Real cowhide leather
