We wanted ultimate performance, comfort, and security for Functional Fitness Athletes. We achieved this by starting with the best material we could find, 100% Premium Nylon. Then, shaped it into the most functional design, a light weight uniform 4″ Profile. Finally, ensuring the belt will never come loose during your sets by including the revolutionary Full Metal Self-Locking Technology.
