Velcro or leather

    I'm thinking about getting a belt, I haven't used one for the last 3 or 4 years so I'm just a bit curious.
    I squat and dead lift but nothing major.

    I tried on a velcro belt at the gym and it was very comfortable and snug fitting much better than the leather from what I can remember from my previous gym days.

    Whats the good and bad of each? I've heard the velcro can burst open when under pressure.
    Cheers

    A velcro one won't have much of a lifespan. I did use one for quite some time though...not the same one mind. Probably got 9 months max out of each.

    It also won't offer a huge amount of support if you're going heavy.

    But if you're not and you want to dip your toe on the water, then give one a go. Consider it a starter belt.
