2.0 out of 5 stars Chain Too Short, May 11, 2010

I have worked out in many gyms (at least 20+), and I've used weight belts in many of these gyms. I've never encountered one with such a short chain. I am keeping the belt, because sending it back is more of a hassle, but I have going to have to purchase chain from the local hardware store and lengthen it. The chain that comes with this belt will barely fit around a 45lb. plate, let alone allow it to hang at knee level, which is where the plate winds up with EVERY other belt I've used.

This is a typical "made in China" product. Labor price OVER quality. I'm sure I will want to reduce the rating to one star when the stitching starts to pull out in a year or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great belt that's strong enough for hip belt squats, December 7, 2011

I have been using my Harbinger polypro dip belt for a few months now without any problems. Nice affordable belt with great durable construction that is strong enough for weighted dips, chins, calf raises, and even heavy hip belt squats.
A 'true' hip belt runs $100+ for basically the same type of belt made of nylon/poly webbing material. The synthetic dip belts are known to be stronger AND more comfortable than the traditional leather dip belts, especially when loaded heavily.

I have loaded mine with over 100# when doing said hip belt squats, but I'm sure it can handle more weight comfortably. A loading pin comes in handy for the belt squats when using heavy loads (2 or more plates).
The belt has come in handy when I go to the gym, so I don't have to carry my 25# weighted vest every time (belt weighs just 3#). Like others have mentioned, the chain is on the 'short' side, but this actually works in my favor (5'7", size 32 waist).

12/11: Ended up ditching the steel chain for some rock climbing nylon "daisy chains" and stainless steel carabiners for a strong, lightweight, and adjustable belt that won't dig into your thighs (especially with squatting).

I received my harbinger dip belt a couple of weeks ago and have used it twice. I did my dips with two 45 pound plates. So far it seems like a well made product. The chain is a little short though. If you are using plates with handles or a couple of 25 pound plates it isn't a problem. You would be unable to use a 45 pound plate(s) without a handle with this dip belt.
