SBD 13mm Adjustable Lever Belt: Precision Fit Without Compromise
The SBD Lever Belt was designed to eliminate the biggest tradeoff in powerlifting belts: adjustability versus tightness.
Featuring SBD’s patented gliding lever system, this belt gives you the secure, locked-in feel of a traditional lever belt with the fine-tuned adjustability of a prong belt; without tools, screws, or committing to a single setting. Whether your bodyweight fluctuates, you change layers between warm-ups and attempts, or simply want a perfect fit every set, this belt adapts instantly.
Lifters consistently choose this belt for its combination of extreme stiffness, comfort, and precision fit.
“Fits great, super comfortable, and easy to adjust.”
Built to Perform Under Maximal Loads
Constructed from premium English hide prepared over five months, the SBD Lever Belt delivers the rigidity expected of a true 13mm competition belt while breaking in smoothly over time. The suede interior improves comfort and grip, allowing the belt to stay locked in position even during maximal attempts.
This is the belt many lifters replace all others with, equally at home in heavy training and on the competition platform.

How to measure
If you already own a belt, we recommend measuring your current belt on the tightest setting you use to give you the circumference of the belt at the setting you usually use.
If you do not have a belt then please measure your waist where the belt will sit (which is normally just above the navel), with your abdominal muscles braced. Please do not use your pants size as this will not be accurate for the belt measurement.
We typically recommend a belt where you fall in the middle of the sizing guide, as this will allow you to adjust the belt in either direction depending on your preference of fit, what exercise you are using the belt for, should your bodyweight change, or if you wear the belt over layers of clothes or a neoprene belt.
Product Care Information
To ensure the outer face of the leather and the stitching retain their original appearance, we would recommend using a regular black shoe polish once every 1-3 months. Polish directly onto the leather and then buff to a shiny finish.
Avoid dropping or throwing the belt, as this can cause damage to the belt buckle.
