I have worn out quite a few weight belts so far. Two years ago I decided to get two really decent ones hoping they would last a long time.
A weight belt needs to be stretchy for me since I don’t want to rely on these annoying strings running between my legs. Tried it, no thanks.
The ones I got didn’t work and are again in danger of breaking. Very frustrating.
Meandros rubber belt only two years of use. They warned me for the rubber one not being so durable. Got it anyway since I wanted the stretch. My fault I guess...
Nonetheless I ordered the other one they recommended as well. Albeit not being so stretchy it should last many years they said.
The holes are ripping!
Got another one from Tarpon. This one is showing signs of degradation as well.
It will probably last another season at least but not much longer I am afraid.
Now I am looking at something new. The Alchemy silicone 5mm weight belt.
It seems like it wouldn’t degrade and looking at the specs it seems super strong. Anyone any experience with this weight belt and it’s stretchiness or quality?
It’s expensive at €45 but if it lasts longer than the others it may prove to be the cheapest one in the end.
