Belt Squat Cover

Name: Belt Squat Cover
Brand: AbMat
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)

AbMat’s Belt Squat Cover (B.S.C.) is a neoprene sleeve designed to eliminate the hip, thigh, and lower-back discomfort that belt squatting can cause. Users insert their existing belt squat belt into the sleeve and close it with a full-length heavy-duty zipper; a half-inch layer of foam padding sewn into the back of the sleeve sits between the belt and the body. The neoprene shell is the same material used in wetsuits – soft, thick, and moisture-wicking, though it can run warm during summer training. Made in the USA and designed by Matt Vincent, the cover measures roughly 37 inches end-to-end and 6.5 inches wide. Independent reviewers who tested it for several months report the padding meaningfully reduces bruising and pinching from belt squats, and the zipper and stitching held up without fraying. The one recurring limitation is length: at just under 37 inches, the cover only fully covers shorter belt squat belts, and leaves the rigid, cauterized ends of longer belts (like a size-large Spud Inc) exposed.

What is a Miscellaneou?

What’s in Miscellaneous

This is the catch-all for the conditioning tools and accessories that don’t fit a single equipment class — weighted vests and plate carriers, medicine and slam balls, plyo boxes, ab mats, and the odds and ends that round out a garage gym. Items land here because their job (loaded carries, jumps, core work) cuts across the categories rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Who it’s for

Anyone filling in the gaps around the big pieces. If you already have a rack, bar, and plates, this is where you find the vest for rucking and weighted push-ups, the ball for slams and wall throws, or the box for step-ups and box jumps. Match the tool to the training you actually do — a plate carrier for conditioning and rucking, plyo boxes for explosive work — rather than buying the whole shelf.

AbMat’s Belt Squat Cover draws consistent praise across every independent review we found: a half-inch foam-padded neoprene sleeve that eliminates the hip and thigh bruising notorious with belt squats, with testers still using it weekly six months in and reporting no zipper or stitching failures. Functionality is the standout – reviewers say it “eliminates discomfort” even under roughly 130 lb of chain-loaded resistance – while versatility is the clear weak spot: the fixed ~37” length only fully covers shorter belts, leaving the rigid, cauterized ends of longer belts (like a size-large Spud Inc) exposed and still able to pinch. At $65 it undercuts pricier alternatives like the $140 Bulletproof Cloud 9, and every reviewer who tested it called it worth the money despite the sizing gap.

−Versatility: fixed ~37" length doesn't fully cover longer belts like a size-large Spud Inc, leaving rigid cauterized ends exposed (Dylan K Johnson; Kia Kaha Athletics)
−Versatility: sold in one size/length, so larger-waisted lifters or longer belts may not get full coverage (Shredded Dad)
−Build quality: neoprene can run warm during summer training sessions (Dylan K Johnson)
