Thread: would you buy a proper vegan powerlifting belt?

Started 2 years, 5 months ago by JP
Getting this thread up again, there is more and more demand for this! Taken directly from the IPF rule book: http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/IPF_rulebook_2007. doc "Belt Competitors may wear a belt. If worn, it shall be on the outside of the lifting suit. Materials and Construction: (a) The main body shall be made of leather, vinyl or other similar non-stretch ...

hey is there someone sorted to make these? i spoke with veganwares and they said they could probably make them they just need to see the real thing to get a feel for it (which i'm trying to get my hands on). _________________ www.liberationphotography.org

i think we are all waiting for someone other than ourselves to actually organise it - you volunteering??

JP replied 2 years, 4 months ago
littlegirlbunny has been emailing some companies (i wish she would post these herself, but anyway): - vegetarian shoes do not want to reveal their material source and are not very helpful - the american belt company are still keen and have looked into some material, but do not know any good ones. Whats next? This is becoming more and more urgent i think with more people entering ...

Fruitbat replied 2 years, 4 months ago
I am *really* desperate because of my upcoming comp in 5 weeks and my belt will certainly not be approved. Will probably have to beg someoneon Sugden forum to lend me their animal one... On Sugden someone suggested using a kind of rubbery gym matting material that could be cut to the standards approved by IPF and buying a clip off of somewhere like Pullums and getting it welded on....

I'm guessing The American Belt Company is based here in the states? For material, I know veganerotica.com sells their fake leather material in bulk. That could be one option. Are you the one in contact with them JP? I could maybe send them an email with the link if you'll PM it to me.

buzz replied 2 years, 4 months ago
Hmm, this place might be worth trying for material, or supplier of it http://www.sporran-nation.co.uk/bespoke_sporrans.h tml Or Freerangers? http://www.freerangers.co.uk/ourproducts_bespoke.h tm Of course, I could do this myself, but belts are disco If it comes off I'll still buy one though _________________

Altberg make vegan hiking boots, so they might also be worth a try. _________________ "It's not: (a) Extend your legs. (b) extend your hips. (c) rise up on your toes. (d) peform a shrug.

Hi Centinal Maybe I have written there qoute in a little misleading way there was a full stop between 'unacceptable' and the sentence beginning 'Rubber/foam'. And they were answers to separate questions. Firstly we asked about using a secondary material not only for a fully synthetic belt but as an alternative to the seude finish you often see. Secondly we asked should we find a product of either rubber or foam that was...

Actually JP he sounds very old. Have you ever seen a leather bench? He has no idea what a vegan is or how many of us there are. He seems fixated on vinyl. I can't think of anywhere suitable vinyl could be sourced. He seems to think i can cobble one from an existing belt but the velcro and rollar buckle belts he is thinking of are not made of vinyl. My York belt is made of a coated plastisote foam which is technically two different...

In case I would want to order a belt, what can be said about the lever buckle vs the double prong buckle?

That's excellent Fruity, cheers _________________ lolfail (lol-fehl): noun 1. A prediction of lifting prowess so preposterous that, if attempted, the resulting video would go down in internet folklore.
