Great quality. I didn’t think the padding would be long enough to fit around my waist, but it works perfectly. I’m 5’11”, 180lbs, and a 33” waist.
I purchased the Standard Hip Belt as an accessory to my Bandit pack, intending it for use on difficult terrain with the pack loaded up. Easily attached it adds stability and comfort in such use. The pals webbing is a bit tight but allows for handy pouches to be mounted. I did find the straps a bit on the long side as I need the belt to be cinched in almost as much as possible with a 30" waist and 36" hip. There was really too much excess strap to conveniently stow and I trimmed and them finished the ends. The forward pull to cinch is better than a rearward pull and the belt hugs my hips very comfortably despite its initially rather stiff feel. Although it's possibly a bit overkill for use with the Bandit the belt is compatible with other packs so I anticipate a decent amount of use from it.
I have a Bandit and a Sidekick, this little add on turns either into an absolute workhorse. It’s a serious pain to install or remove, but once it’s in it is fantastic, comfortable, and looks handsome on the coyote colored packs.
Love this company to death. If you actually RUCK or hunt, this is a must.
I bought this for my Switchblade, i wasn't sure i needed one.
This is easily the most comfortable and best working hip belt ive ever had on a pack. Very secure, supports weight.
Fits great.
Just as I suspected....perfect!
Perfect for the Bandit or Switchblade pack. Excellent comfort level
