Belts
The belt is the simplest carry level and the one that stays on you even when the backpack is off. Choose an equipment belt when the pouches are to sit on the hip, and a trouser belt when the belt only needs to carry your trousers and a holster.
Belts for tactical use from Snigel Design and Black Trident — from a stiff trouser belt to an equipment belt with MOLLE all the way round. You will also find holsters, buckles, adapters and belt-mounted accessories that adapt the system to the task.

Frequently asked questions about belts
Do I need both an inner belt and an outer belt?
Only if the outer belt carries weight. An equipment belt with pouches all the way round shifts and rotates without something holding it in place, and the inner belt in the belt loops solves that. If the belt only needs to hold up your trousers and a holster, however, a stiff trouser belt such as the Rigid trouser belt is enough.
How do I choose the size?
Measure around your waist **over the clothes you will actually wear** with the belt — winter layers and shell garments change the measurement by several centimetres. The Light combat belt comes in several sizes, and most belts have some adjustment. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger one if the belt is to be worn over load-carrying gear or protective equipment.
Do the pouches fit all the belts here?
Pouches with MOLLE attachment fit belts with woven webbing, i.e. the equipment and combat belts. A trouser belt lacks that grid and instead carries holsters and accessories with belt loops. If you are unsure, check how the pouch is designed to attach before you combine them.
Can I carry a holster on an equipment belt?
Yes, but first check that the holster mount fits the width of the belt, and that the draw is not blocked by a pouch next to it. The Raven OWB holsters in the range are outside-the-waistband models for Glock 17 and 19 Gen 5 in a right-handed version. Test the draw with the equipment you actually wear.
