If you ever wondered what apparel is used in powerlifting here is the detailed list. It is also noted in which disciplines the items are used.

Main apparel used for preventing injuries and helping during lifting is: squat suit, bench shirt, deadlift suit. Other necessary stuff, which also increase safety during training and competition are: weight belt, squat shoes or boots, knee wraps and wrist wraps. Powerlifting singlet is a piece of clothing that is required during bench press. It does not provide aid with the lifting like bench shirt does.

Some additional accessories are used for achieving even greater results and increasing safety: chalk for stronger grip support, deadlift socks for protecting shins from scraping and plain baby powder applied on thighs to keep the barbell running smoothly during deadlift.
