Description
The all new 10mm Stock belts with PAL’s are here! Although they are “new”, this version of the Pioneer Belt has been around for decades as we sold these to 10,000’s of folks and 100’s of resellers. The 10mm untreated stock belts with PAL’s are made using full grain vegetable tanned sole leather. Smooth outside natural finish and rough unfinished on the inside to help combat
slippage. Although this belt is “bare bones”, it is ideal for those of you who want a strong, heavy duty belt quickly and less expensive than a custom belt.

Great belt, especially for the price. High quality leather and craftsmanship. It’s a very plain belt, but I personally like the look of plain leather so I think it looks fantastic. Functional, well made belt that feels like it should last for a lifetime. I measured at 37″ according to Pioneer’s instructions, and the size Medium fits perfect with some room to grow.

This belt is awesome. I now have the best looking belt in the gym. I love the look and it fits great. My first lever belt so I went with pioneer. When you want the best this is it.

I have had this belt for years. I’ve acquired customized belts from pioneer but still turn to this one for my heaviest squats. It’s so stiff and has retained that for all these years. Truly a underrated gem.

Fantastic product. Belt and lever mechanism are virtually indestructible. I ordered on a Saturday and it was in by the following Wednesday. These are a great budget option, or alternative to a custom belt.

I’ve been using the belt for about a week now and I love it. It is a great belt for its price, it was true to the sizing charts and fits perfectly. I would recommend this product to anyone. Shipping was also great!

Great belt. If you need a good belt quickly this is the one for you. I live in southern missouri and it was delivered in 4 days. Great belt and a great company. I’m 6’2, 205 and ordered a medium. If I was to do it again I would order a small because I’m on the 2nd smallest hole size, but it works great and I’ll never need to go tighter.

Excellent quality belt and PAL lever mechanism is amazing. I have used many different belts including SBD, Rogue Ohio, and Aethreadics, and this belt tops them all. Unless you have multiple belts for specific lifts and weights, the PAL lever system is the way to go. The option to adjust on the fly from day to day and lift to lift is extremely valuable and at the price point, this can’t be beat. The sizing guide is perfect and customer service is excellent as well. I’m 5’9″, 225 and ordered a medium based on customer service recommendations and its perfect.

These belts are the real deal, and the adjustable lever is great. Break in process wasn’t too bad, about 10 squat sessions and it’s starting to feel really good. 5’8” 165ish pounds and I went with a small.

I’m 5’10” 170lb athletic build with a 32″ waist. I went with a small and it’s perfect. After the breaking in, I have the lever in the middle of the range of holes. A medium would have been way too big.
I use this for all of the powerlifting movements as well as the clean & jerk. It’s perfect. The PAL system allows me to adjust the tightness to move it up and down my torso depending on the lift.
The break in method I recommend is just to wear it for all of your lifts. I found that it started to feel comfortable after 10 sessions of squatting & dead lifting in it. This belt doesn’t need to be rolled or beaten up at all. I do not recommend to do any oly lifts until the belt is well broken in.
Best belt I’ve ever purchased and the customer service is fantastic. 100% recommend this belt and company.

This is a very nice belt. I’m happy with the purchase. It’s what one thinks a weightlifting strap should be when searching for a belt after many years of being without one. My first purchase was of a 13 mm from another company and I had to return it because it was so thick and heavy. Actually measured 14 mm.
The PAL system is great. As far as I can tell, it’s the best lever on the market at this time. Do yourself a favor and give it a nice coating of mink oil. Work it into the belt with your hands and take a screwdriver or something similar to get the conditioner into the holes. Doesn’t need but two tablespoons to do the whole thing and you snag a treated belt for little outlay.
