Kidney or Back Support Belt on the Moto or the Job
« on: February 21, 2020, 08:46:00 PM »
Wear and tear on the lower back had me searching for the best support belt. I measure 37" 94cm at the belly button fit a medium in both.

Back-A-Line with a medium/hard density Orthopedic Lumbar Pad. Purchased from Aerostich 4 years ago did not have a logo back as shown on Amazon.
Best fit, comfort and support I've found with a lumber pad.

Backaline DBS Deluxe from Aerostich

Back-A-Line Sport Belt from Amazon

CLC is excellent for a low profile fit and with 4 internal plastic stays to provide support, no lumbar pad. I cut the suspenders off.

CLC Custom Leathercraft 5000M Elastic Back Support Belt from Amazon

What do you use?

I have riding pants that have elastic in the back that acts as a back support.   No name on them.   I got them from an outfit in Toronto on ebay.  They work pretty well for me, I can do 12-14 hour days with them.

I bought this one made by The Gold Belt Co. nearly 40 years ago. Although it's a bit thread-worn and the elastic has lost a bit of flex I find that for long rides and trips it helps with fatigue.

Nuthin fancy, this is what I add for a day long outing.  Definitely straightens my saddle posture.  Consumer Reports has a review out there.  Like most everyone here I have some worn out vertebras.  This helps.
