I recently ordered a Titan Longhorn belt from Lifting Large (10mm, single prong buckle) & I thought I'd give a quick review.
First, the belt was $79 plus $51 shipping (stock colour, black suede) & it got to me in about 10 days from the US.
First impressions... came out of the box exuding quality. Solid but also a bit pliable, more comfortable to wear than I was expecting. The stitching, buckle, workmanship on the belt is amazing. Beautiful-looking piece of gear. I don't know why it was so comfortable to wear straight-up. Rolling it up into a ball would be bloody difficult, it's a solid thick piece of leather, but it also wasn't a pain in the ass to buckle up & wear.
After a couple of weeks of use... it's my favourite piece of gym equipment. I only use the belt for my heaviest sets of squats & deadlifts. The single prong buckle is easy to get off after a squat, the belt feels fantastic to push against, easy to get into position on a deadlift, and the edges are already starting to feel slightly softer after some use (although as I said, it was already quite comfortable out of the box). Brilliant piece of equipment. I can't recommend it highly enough.
