General
Are your belts legal for powerlifting?
Our belts are legal in a number of powerlifting federations (SPF, APF, RPS, etc…), but are not legal in ALL powerlifting federations. Check with the state chair for the federation you plan to compete in to make sure all of your gear is compliant with their rules.

Shipping
What shipping methods are offered?
The United States Post Office will be the preferred shipping method for all orders. If you prefer UPS or FedEx, please call to place an order over the phone and specify that you would like to choose one of these carriers as your shipping method. Please note that changing to either UPS or FedEx can delay your order delivery time. Any order that is too large to fit inside USPS packaging will automatically default to being sent via FedEx Ground.
Other shipping methods are available, such as UPS Next-Day, Two/Three-Day delivery, UPS Global/International delivery, FedEx 2-Day, FedEx Express Saver, or FedEx Overnight. You pay shipping costs for these methods, which are based on weight and destination. Simply enter your order online, and you will be presented with all available shipping options so you can choose between price and speed of delivery.
By selecting a special delivery method, you are giving us authorization to charge you for this service. Please be aware that orders placed after 12:00 noon EST (9:00 am PST) will usually go out the following business day.
Sizing
How do I determine what size I need?
For most of our products, including sleeves and belts, a sizing chart is available on the product page to help you find the best fit. If you find yourself between sizes or need additional assistance, send us an email at service@spud-inc-straps.com, and we’ll be happy to help.
What is the difference between the 2-ply and 3-ply belt?
The 2-ply belt is ideal for lifters who perform a lot of dynamic movements. It is pliable and supportive, making it great for Olympic lifting, CrossFit, or beginners who are not accustomed to wearing a belt.
The 3-ply belt is a thicker, stiffer version of the 2-ply belt. It provides solid support, making it ideal for strongman, powerlifting, or lifters who prefer extra stability during heavy lifting.
What is the difference between the women’s belt and the men’s belt?
The women’s belt is made from 3” wide woven nylon, while the men’s belt is made from 4” wide woven nylon. Additionally, we offer a 5” wide belt designed specifically for strongman competitors.
