Nylon weightlifting belts are famous for the comfort they provide during lifts. Nylon belts are great for Olympic weightlifting because they provide enough support to the core without adding any extra pressure. Nylon weightlifting belts are also recognized due to the vast assortment of closure systems it provides to select the best belt according to your weightlifting preferences.
Pros and Cons of Nylon Weightlifting Belts Pros • A nylon weightlifting belt is considered a good starting point for beginners due to the comfort it provides during lifting because of its soft material. • The belt easily contours to the shape of your body allowing you a greater range of motions without pain or rigidity. • It offers several closure systems like Velcro and buckles, and the nylon belt comes in a wide variety of designs, shapes, and sizes.
Cons • The Velcro is not long-lasting and reliable when you use it consistently for heavy weights. • The nylon lifting belts do not provide great support to the core and lower back as compared to the leather lifting belts. • The greatest risk of nylon lifting belts is the fact that they are prone to rip or break during deadlifts and squats putting you in the danger of a distressing injury.
The Difference Between Leather vs Nylon Lifting Belts • Material and Construction The leather lifting belt is made of several layers of leather, enclosed in a single or double stitching that makes it durable and stable for heavy weightlift workouts. The leather belt is thicker and more rigid. Whereas the nylon lifting belt is more flexible and has a thinner material that sits comfortably on the lifter’s torso. The nylon lifting belts come in a variety of styles and varied stitching patterns.
Buckle System The leather belt comes in three options, single-prong, double-prong, and levers. Triple-prong leather belts are also available. The buckles and prongs are made of stainless steel making them durable and persistent. The pronged belt’s end has pre-made holes that can be adjusted easily, and the lever buckles are pre-fixed and tailored to your fit.
The nylon belts also have stainless steel buckles, the straps are either made of pure nylon or a cloth bend and can be easily adjusted to the torso. There are no pre-made holes and the nylon belt can be pulled tighter because of the soft material used. Nylon belts differ in rigidity levels following the belt width and straps.
The Use Mostly, the powerlifters, weightlifters, and strongman competitors opt for the leather lifting belts because of the strong support and stability it provides to the core. Athletes consider the powerlifting organizations also while selecting the types of equipment. Usually, no more than a 13 mm thick belt is allowed.
The nylon lifting belts as compared to the leather belts are flexible and versatile. Nylon belts are for dynamic lifters like those in CrossFit, recreational lifting, and functional, and fitness athletes. A nylon belt is also a good weightlifting option for beginners because it provides ample support without inhibiting the movements.
