I was wondering how many other folks out there use one of these belts and how does it benefit you. What brand do you use. How much do they cost, ect. Fred, do you have these in stock? If I chose not to get one now, I might need one to get home! >> Hey Ed, I like the Fox Blackbelt. The only thing I've got to compare it to is the old style Gold belts. The Fox is Much more rigid with a plastic plate of sorts sewn into the back of it. No idea where that receipt is but believe that it was around 30.00. I always thought that wearing a belt provided some additional lower back support & kind of kept your guts in place in the whoops & such. The Fox belt actually seems a little more like armor than the (nylon?) type I'd used in the past. Would be interested to hear if there are benefits to wearing them that I don't see.
