Best Dip Belt
Why it's best: APT is well known in strength sports for producing high quality equipment at prices that lifters can afford. Their Heavy 6” Nylon Belt is sturdy; it’s super comfortable and adjusts easily to fit any size user well. I personally find that nylon belts, though they may not be quite as strong, are much more comfortable than leather – and the way that this belt is designed to sit, is the most comfortable belt that I have found, regardless of the weight put on it.
At a little over $30, this belt is a great value and a wonderful addition to any home gym, and is made well enough to last for years without worry. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: This is another gem from APT, the material is extra wide for comfort and this belt is made to last. It adjusts easily to adapt to any user and it is strong enough to really pile on the pounds so you get a wicked strength workout.
You’ll pay a couple extra bucks for this belt than you will for the 6”, but the extra material does seem to disperse the pressure of the weight just a little better. If you are planning on multiple sets of very heavy weighted dips on a regular basis, you may want to splurge and get the wide belt but for regular use the 6” belt is a better value.

Why it's a best pick: This belt from Harbinger is built for both comfort and durability, it’s contoured nicely so it hangs in exactly the right place for every rep and for a non-leather belt, it feels particularly sturdy. There is plenty of heavy duty chain to make adding as much weight as you can handle quick and easy.
The 28900 from Harbinger is a top notch belt that can adjust to fit anyone and at about $30, it can fit into just about any budget. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: This is a comfortable, durable and easily adjustable belt that works well and fits well for users of all sizes. The chain and hardware are heavy duty enough to support more than enough weight for most users.
At around $30-$35, this belt is about equal in cost to most of the others on the list and in terms of durability it seems as though it would hold up as well – I just found the belts from Harbinger and APT to be a little more comfortable, and the belts from APT have longer and heavier chains to support larger amounts of weight.

Why it's a best pick: As I’ve come to expect from the items I’ve used from Altus, this is a good piece of equipment at a great price. The Altus Nylon Belt is very comfortable and seems very sturdy – and you can find it for under $25.
The length of the chain is a little shorter than some of the belts higher on the list, which could make this belt not the best option for those planning on adding an exorbitant amount of weight while dipping, but it should be more than enough for casual and even reasonably serious weight trainers.
If you are limited by a strict budget, you don’t need to forego this very beneficial exercise and you don’t have to settle for an inferior piece of equipment – the Altus belt is beyond worth the money and will give you an incredible strength training workout.
