Measurements

These shooter’s belts come in four sizes, and each of them can be adjusted by 10 cm (c. 4") The sizes overlap a bit on purpose. The measurement method is like with a regular leather belt from the hole to the buckle, rather than the overall length of the belt.

Note that when you adjust the belt longer, you uncover webbing that has no PALS webbing on it. If you want as much webbing as possible, you should select a belt that fits you at the short end of the adjustment range.

On the other hand, you might prefer to have less material at and around the buckle to have a flat and comfortable front. In that case, shoot for a size that fits you when utilizing the full length of the belt. When doing this, note that an under belt will add some girth, so add estiproximately 7/8" to the length.

If estimating the belt length gives you anxiety, put a measuring tape through your belt loops when wearing pants without a belt. Don’t measure an existing belt, make educated guesses based on the pant size, or use haruspicy.

Rugged laser cut PALS webbing

You'll find PALS-surface almost on the whole length of the Shooter’s Belt. Instead of sewing, we used LASER-cut Cordura for three particular reasons. First of all, this design keeps pistol mag pouches and other narrow items more securely upright. Furthermore, it ensured a lighter and flatter belt. Third, it reduces manufacturing time and materials required, which saves money.

Bomb-proof Cobra buckle

This belt comes with an AustriAlpin Cobra buckle, rated to 9 kN. The point of the Cobra buckle is that when you have once adjusted the belt correctly, you don’t have to adjust it anymore. Just click and go.

Without a doubt rigid and stiff enough

Your shooter’s belt should be as stiff as a government bureaucrat. You don’t want it wobbling here and there with heavy gear because then it will chafe. This 45 mm (1.8") wide belt has a sturdy plastic reinforcement inside making it stiff enough. And it isn’t just any shitty plastic, it will take at least -45 degrees Celsius (-49 F). So, these won’t break in the wintertime fun and games either.

Easy to attach to the pants without screwing up the setup

When you have finally managed to set up all the gear on your shooter’s belt, you don’t want to fidget with them. If a need arises to loop the belt in the pants like it is required by certain shooting sports, you will feel like crying. It is impossible to do that with a stiff belt full of gear without detaching everything and starting all over. Even when the belt loop attachment isn’t required, not using it might make the belt slip and slide here and there, which is both unpleasant and moves all your gear to less optimal locations.

The loops-covered Varusteleka Under Belt eliminates this problem. You put it through the belt loops of your pants, leaving the Velcro side on the outside. This shooter’s belt has the corresponding Velcro on the inside. You can have all the gear in their correct places all the time. Then you slap the belts together and rock & roll.

An option for using without an under belt

If you must use the belt without attaching it to an under belt, you should cover the coarse hooks on the inside with something to protect your jacket. The Varusteleka Belt Padding offers protection and friction to better retain the belt.
