Product details
Large padded hip belt, as made for our V69 and V90 packs. The pads on this belt are a little wider and thicker than on our standard belts, and feature a generous 3 x 6 Padlock webbing matrix. The benefit to using this belt for heavier load bearing is that you get a little more structure and a little more surface area to distribute the load onto your hips. This comes at the cost of a little more bulk. So, although we feel our regular belts are well matched to the packs that we have them on, we offer these replacement belts with larger pads for those whose wish is for maximum comfort and support. Auxiliary anchor straps can be routed through webbing on the pack to increase the stability of the bottom of the pack, or removed if you prefer our classic free-hip-movement belt installation.
Available only in the colors shown here.

The Regular / Small Contoured Hip belt works on all of our packs that feature removable belts. Use it as a replacement, or to pair with products where you want to add a belt (J79s G1, G3s main pack, or G1 Little Brother). This belt generally will work well for people with waists of 28"- 40".
If you're looking for a shorter alternative to the standard hipbelt sold with our packs, the HBSS is about 2" shorter. The padded portion of the HBSS is 28" long, but the webbing straps extend to 60", so it will work for a variety of body sizes.
