Harbinger Padded Leather Contoured Weightlifting Belt with Suede Lining and Steel Roller Buckle

Cheap material. The inside of the belt is mostly cardboard. It is my second belt and it ripps right away. I went to see it at a store to see if maybe it was just the one that i bought i bent a brand new one and right away it started tearing.

I bought this belt because of all the high reviews on Amazon. When I received the item it looked fine, but within a week of use the belt tore, seemingly from having to belt the belt to fasten it in place. You can see the tear in the attached photo which has now gotten much worse.So I clicked "Return or Refund" on amazon, and that told me to contact the maker. I contacted Harbingerfitness.com and after 2 weeks they told me to contact the original seller (a fantastic closed loop of passing on responsibility).Because the maker took 2 weeks to get back to me, now on Amazon when I click refund or return it says my 30 day period is up.All round disappointment.

I read great reviews all over about this brand so I bought this seemingly well built belt. Let me tell you I'm not a heavy lifter nor I use this belt every week. And just take a look of the picture.Their quality and reputation is plummeting. #sad

It broke in only 5 weeks of use... Poor quality. It looks like leather, but it is not! It is a cardboard! What a shame!

Looks the business, sturdy, padded. I’m not a powerlifter, for what it’s worth. But 3 years later still going strong.Absolutely no issues.
