Sting 4 Inch Eco Leather Lifting Belt

Sting 4 Inch Eco Leather Lifting Belt

Classic suede leather support for squats, deadlifts and heavy compound lifts.

The Sting 4 Inch Eco Leather Lifting Belt is a traditional-profile leather weightlifting belt built for lifters who want a firmer brace than a neoprene belt without stepping up to a stiff 10mm powerlifting lever belt. The heavy-duty suede leather body gives a non-slip surface that grips your shirt and stays in place under load, while extra-thick memory foam padding cushions the lower back.

A heavy-gauge two-prong stainless steel roller buckle locks the belt at your chosen tension and adjusts quickly between sets. Every seam is lock-stitched with corrosion-resistant high-density nylon thread so the belt holds up to years of sweat and chalk.

Who It Suits

The 4-inch width is the all-rounder in the Sting Eco Leather range - firm enough to brace against for squats, deadlifts and overhead presses, but narrow enough to clear the ribs and hips on shorter torsos and stay out of the way during cleans and rows. For maximum lumbar coverage on heavy squat and deadlift days, see the 6 Inch Eco Leather Belt. If you'd rather a softer, more flexible belt for everyday training, the 4 Inch Neo is the neoprene alternative.

Specifications

Sizing Chart

Lifting belts are worn above the hips, around the navel - not at your jeans waistline. Measure around your midsection at navel height with your core relaxed, over the clothing you train in, then use the Sting chart below. A prong belt has fixed holes, so if you land at the top of a size, go up one for room to tighten as the leather breaks in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Leather or neoprene - which should I choose?
Leather gives you something firm to brace your core against, which is what you want for heavy squats, deadlifts and presses. Neoprene is softer and warmer and suits general training, high-rep work and manual labour. If you're chasing PBs, go leather; if you want comfort for everyday sessions, the 4 Inch Neo is the pick.

Is this a competition powerlifting belt?
No. It's a padded suede training belt, not a 10mm or 13mm single-thickness lever belt. For a rigid competition-style belt see the Fitness Hero 10mm Lever Belt or the Vantage Strength 10mm Lever Belt.

Does it need breaking in?
A little. Suede is softer than full-grain leather so it's comfortable from the first session, but expect it to mould to your torso and loosen slightly over the first few weeks - another reason to size so you have a tighter hole in reserve.

How do I care for it?
Wipe down with a damp cloth after training and air dry away from direct sun. Don't soak, machine wash or leave it in a hot car - heat dries and cracks leather and breaks down the foam padding.
