aye ollys classic belt!

No IPF approved non leather belts on market yet, though some folk are working on it.

But dont worry the leather in this case was not made from your dogs.

I'm not worried, but I'm not a Vegan.

Cant you just be a veggie and stick to your guns, or was that before you were Vegan?

Would you buy one if you knew when you bought it that the cow died of natural causes?

I've got lots of very good pillows thanks, some of which are made from cotton, some from varuous animals' feathers. Using a dog for that would be stupid.

But to use cows leather to make a quality powerlifting belt which a)you haven't got, and b) you need, makes much more sense to me.

to me using bits of cow to produce a belt is really silly and crazy, equally crazy as eating a dog so i rather stick to what i have now, borrow a legal belt if i need one for the PL comps, and in the long run get one of those non-animal powerlifting belts when they are there (want to support that effort anyway).

thanks for the offer though boar! Be careful on the roads.

I understand you supporting, and waiting, for the mon-leather powerlifting belt. But I don't see how it can be silly/crazy to use/buy a leather one when all the best powerlifting belts are made out of leather at the monent (if it were that stupid you wouldn't borrow one).

I'm guessing buying one actually makes you directly responsible for an animal being killed by increasing demand?!?!?!?
