The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Not every weight belt buyer is chasing max deadlift numbers, and the Hip HTB-0001-B seems built for that reality at just $13.47, less than a fifth of the Lever belt-01's $69.99.
Despite the low price, its rating holds up. 4.6 stars across 143 reviews matches the Schiek SCH1014/1717/691's 4.6-star average, though the Schiek's 1,300-review base is nearly ten times larger. Built from nylon in a Printed, One Strap design, it is a simpler construction than the buckled leather belts like the Harbinger 360982 or Lever belt-01.
The one figure that stands out is demand. This listing shows 0+ units bought last month, the same flat signal as the Schiek and Harbinger 360982, in contrast to belts like the Dip Dip1 showing 700+. For a lifter who wants a cheap, decently rated nylon belt for lighter work and is not concerned about current sales momentum, the Hip HTB-0001-B at $13.47 is worth considering. Those training for heavy compound lifts should look at the sturdier, pricier leather belts instead.

Performance notes
A nylon, One Strap belt like the Hip HTB-0001-B is a lighter, simpler construction than the buckled leather belts elsewhere in this comparison, which typically means less rigidity but easier on and off adjustment. That tradeoff suits general fitness use or lighter lifting more than max-effort powerlifting, where a stiffer leather belt like the Harbinger 360982 provides more bracing. The Printed design is cosmetic and does not change function. At $13.47, the price reflects that lighter-duty positioning, sitting well below every other belt in this comparison, including the $22.99 3-in-1 RIV001.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 143 reviews matches the Schiek's rating, a strong pattern for a belt priced at a fraction of the cost. The review count is modest compared to the Harbinger 28900's 2,900 or 360982's 2,200, but it is large enough to suggest a consistent pattern rather than a handful of outlier reviews. The listing shows 0+ units bought last month, which does not indicate declining interest so much as an absence of a strong recent-demand signal, a pattern shared with the Schiek and Harbinger 360982 in this same comparison.
