Comfortable, durable, and affordable. With a waist of 31", I use this for not only loaded dips and pullups but for belt squats, too. After switching out the included chain for a daisy chain, this belt is now perfect.

Despite a decade of use and sweat, this thing still looks and smells new. Sure, adjusting the weight can be slow and when fully loaded, getting this thing on can be tricky but them's the breaks. Overall, a great way to load calisthenics and even cardio.

By virtue of the sheer reduction in noise when storing my bars vertically, I have to imagine these things are doing something right. And they're cheap.

Stout, versatile, and effective. The paint is grippy and chalks well but it chips and flakes off easily.

Considerably more comfortable and versatile than other pinch grip implements but none the less challenging. The paint is grippy and chalks well but it chips and flakes off easily, too.

It's stable and stout. However, what arrived from Golden Grips (on the right) is not what is advertised on their website (on the left). It's still a good deal but certainly less refined than expected.

It does one thing really well. If that's worth $100+ is a tough call. Some welding spatter and surface rust that don't affect use are present but for the price, you'd hope the fit and finish would be better. Overall, I am satisfied with the product.

For $50, it's worth a shot. Surprisingly hard, especially when resistance is added. Other versions, namely those with carabiner anchoring points, exist but many would pivot in use when one leg pulled more strongly than the other. And while REP and Force 6 make versions with wider anchoring points, they're also double and triple the price, respectively. And with space at a premium, the extra inches these consume would have limited range of motion. So, I bought this, threw on some spare soft-loop tie downs and shaft collars, and regret it the next day when the DOMS set in.
