I have a belt from a company called "Best Belts". I don't know how to link on my phone.
EDIT Link Dean is super cool and will custom make the belt however you want. |

I have the Ohio belt and like it a lot. No experience with any other high end belts though.

I have a Toro 13mm single prong, think they are made by Titan. In the three years or so I have owned it I have had no problems aside from having to tighten the bolts down once.

Bestbelts "Athlete" single prong.
http://www.bestbelts.net/Powerlifting-Belts/Athlete.aspx How can you go past a hand-made belt that's cut to the waist measurement that you provide them? |

I've had a bestbelt athletic belt for years now. I'd get that over anything else in its price range, even if it's just to support a guy that hand makes quality belts.

If you are like me and find leather belts uncomfortable then go velcro.
I have a Valeo and it has taken 10 years of hard abuse. Worth every penny and comfortable. I usually keep it on the entire session. Unless I'm doing upper body. |

My 2pood belts have PR'd many lifts, and I know technically speaking a leather might be better but I always seem to be caught "between holes", obviously don't have that issue with velcro. |

I have had to drill some new holes in my belt from Dean, and I don't use a belt when I deadlift anymore, Tom Campitelli screamed at me at the seminar in Houston 
My hamstrings are so tight that they fight my lower back in the set position of the deadlift, so I was having some trouble getting the lumbar spine in extension. |

The OP wants a belt for exactly the right reason, which is for pushing close to your max on squats and DL. That's something I learned from ARFCOM.

Also as an FYI, it may be better for you to use 2 belts, a 4 inch belt for squats and a 3 inch belt for deads.

Article by Rippetoe: https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-belt-and-the-deadlift I was deadlifting earlier this week with my 4" belt and thinking a 3" might be nice. The tradeoff is I would be afraid people would think I was a Riptard. |

Granted, I am a powerlifter and not an Olympic lifter, but my Spud Velcro belt was too soft. And it popped open on too many heavy deadlifts. |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the rogue Ohio belt.
