Kidney belt - what brand is most comfortable

[johnsls]

Hey everyone,, I need a belt because I'm still hurtin from a fall 10 days ago. I've read a lot of posts about this and it seems a good belt is pretty important.

I saw the FOX black belt,, looks like a nice design..

Anyone have any suggestions what to buy and where are the best prices?

They are all pretty good I have a Gold belt!

[johnsls]

I haven't seen the gold belt. I'll look again. but what about other brands? or styles

[ocotilloboy]

I have a fox but I don't know what kind it is and my parents like the thor quadrent.

[johnsls]

OK, so which one?

Fox Black Belt Kidney Belt is $29.95
Thor Quadrant Belt is $24.95 (pushing towards this one)

OR

[coolguy8769]

what do they do? just provide lower back support?

[johnsls]

I guess:confused:

I've heard that it is a pretty important peice of protection and like I wrote,, since I crashed recently I thought it might help for added protection.

My side looks like an eggplant

FOX blackbelt is my favorite - very nice belt - very comfortable!!! The kidney belt helps to keep your kidneys from hurting on jiggly high speed rides, plus they offer more protection than just gear in the event of a crash - for your stomach and for your kidneys/lower back area....plus, they do help support the back muscles as well. Good investment - something I always wear....
