Best Budget/Beginner Belt

I am a gym owner, coach and active lifter. These belts are a great value, I have 6-8 of them in various sizes for our members and for the power lifts advise most clients to grab one of these. The quality is excellent for the price point. I believe the thinner 4mm and 4" width is perfect for most people, especially beginners as it is not overly obstructive or rigid leading to the belt digging in or being too uncomfortable. I use these belts myself for squat, dl, press and front squat. I do not use these belts for Oly lifts as I prefer a nylon belt with a thinner buckle. Will this belt last 20 years, I am not sure, but for the price and my use case they are awesome. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a belt that is not too restrictive, but still very supportive. I have used 10/13mm prong and lever belts, but it is just too much for me. I am leaner and squat low- to ATG so thicker belts dig in far too much. If you want a thick/stiffer belt this is not right for you.
