Abstract
A support belt has a back support pad and an abdominal support pad for supporting both the back and abdomen during strenuous activity. The support pads are secured to one another by belt side portions which are of a vertical height which provides clearance between the ribs and hips of the wearer, maximizing abdominal and back support with a minimum of discomfort. Utility rings may be secured to the belt for attaching harnesses and the like to assist with support during strenuous activity.
