Here is one hell of a Belt kit ! I'm sure you will agree ,with so many features we had to take photos of them all other wise it would be a very long list.
A very detailed drawing was submitted by the customer detailing his exact requirements ,each one was meticulously thought out and discussed with us to identify the best solution to the problem.
The customer could not achieve this with his issue setup so came to us for a custom solution.
(You may be thinking that was the hard work done for us ! Oh how your wrong :)
We where more than happy to help solve his problems as custom “One Off’s” is what we like!
The customer also sent us some images of his crippling
encounter with grass seeds! These as you can see got stuck in the spacer mesh that lined his civi’
walking shoes.
He did not want the usual mesh lining on the yoke as he didn’t
want to have the same debilitating problem while crawling through undergrowth
in his new webbing.
Our solution was simple ,we mealy lined the yoke in a 4oz
waterproof nylon
Another major detail was wearing the belt kit on the hips
and having the maximum space at the front of the body so when lying in the
prone you can access all your pouches this positioning on the hips also allows
for full leg articulation for kneeling and running .
Conversely the customer wanted the back to be as free as possible allowing
for a Bergen
when tabbing and to be able to quickly jump into a vehicle and drive it without
taking off his webbing .
This belt then becomes more of a split front chest rig while
driving and allows access to all the pouches while in a seated position.
A Velcro tab keeps all the excess webbing neat and out the
way of the steering wheel.
Next up was ammo pouch issues ,triple ammo pouches are fine
when all 3 are in there snug but as soon as you remove one and place it on the
rifle you have 2 rattling around it the
pouch it becomes rather annoying after a while.
Our solution was a simple webbing strap and ladder lock
buckle ,elastic was discussed but the long life of the webbing won through over
the shorter life span of elastic.
A single Mag held firmly in place synched up
with the webbing strap.
On the ammo side a large 5inch wide pouch was requested for
times when larger items need carrying ,this could pose a problem when only
carrying a water bottle in it ,so an internal divider was requested to be fitted this can be fitted in 2 positions via velcro on the front edge of the pouch , this will then take
up the space around the bottle and hold it firmly in the pouch . This creates a
small area for other items to be stored MO.L.L.E loops where provided to add some security
should a speed loader or KFS be fitted inside the pouch.
Here are some other angles that are pretty self explanatory
to give you a feel for the other features not spoken about above .
