Should I get a belt in the same length as your pant's waist size or go up a couple inches?

If you'll be concealed carrying using an in-the-waistband holster (IWB), then definitely go up an inch or 2 more than your regular size.

I got the same size as my usual pants waist, but they do have instructions on how to get the appropriate size by measuring your current belt in the item description.

You want the medium. I have the same size waist (or did before I started lifting) and that is the size that fit me fine with room to shrink

The sizes are the length from the opening of the neck to the bottom of the protector. A little short is better than too long due to when you squat down, it may push on the top of your belt.

Chech their web site, they will explain their sizing system there. Do that for each possible belt supplier as they differ, and change. As an aside, the belt you are considering is a fine and sturdy product.

The belt should be snug enough to where you are able to bend, stretch, or squat. If the belt pops a loose you will probably need to adjust it. Start with outer belt first and then the inner belt. If the belt keeps coming a loose, get a bigger size belt. If overlaps to much, you need a smaller size.Hopes this help."November"

Hello. I hope this helps. I ordered the size Large for my 33 waist and there is about 4 to 5 inches of belt left. If an xl length is available I would buy that one.

I'm a 32" waist and the 36-38" fits just fine, so I'd recommend going up to the next size.

I would definitely go with a medium to start with. Better to have a bit of overlap than for the Velcro to only catch a small portion of the belt.

The yellow elastic belt measures 36 inches and can probably go a few more inches stretched. You don't wear this at a pant waist level.. It's a bit higher so you could find a narrower place ..

I'm a size 28 waist & the belt fits perfectly on me. I'm thinking that it ranges 24-30.

I would just buy the XL version as smaller individuals can just clip the belt closer to their body. The only downside would be having a bit more tail of the belt hanging down than if it was sized correctly.

I wear a 34" waist pant, and the medium fits me perfectly. I have no experience with the small, but I would guess that to be the right size for a 28" waist. FYI, I need a large in the matching top, the medium is too tight.

I would recommend a small. It will provide you a good tight fit without a lot if excess belt getting in your way.

The general rule of thumb is to have 3" additional over your actual waist size. That's what I did and it works fine.

I wear a 34" waist. This week my belly is 37.25". My goal belly size is 35". I have a large belt. I'm at the small end of the belt and will have to get a smaller one soon. Measure your belly. If you're right on the transition, get the smaller one. (Unless you're a power lifter competing in a heavy division, but then this isn't the belt for you, anyway.)EDIT TO ADD: I didn't realize you're female. Measure around your belly. The idea of a weight belt isn't the same a back brace. You simply press your belly against the belt to increase the internal belly pressure which, in turn, supports your spine. It's a good belt for the money. I don't do squats or deadlifts without it. I wear a 34" waist. This week my belly is 37.25". My goal belly size is 35". I have a large belt.

My waist size is 30- meaning some times when I am buying pants I will need to get a 29 if available. I ordered the M and it works for me, but I have too much belt left over. Sometimes I am tightening it up in the gym. I would go with the S.

I would go with the 6-8 and then add padding if you need to increase the size. Like I said in my review, the waist is closer to 27" than to the listed 26" but if it had been too small I would've made a duct tape dummy (google it for instructions) and then taped it on top of the form to make it conform to my measurements. Better too small than too big-- it's not like you can shave down the form to make it smaller.
