Bodypoint® Essentials Two-Point Padded Central Pull Hip Belt

Bodypoint® Essentials Two-Point Padded Hip Belt is lightweight, crush-resistant, and designed to keep accidental releases from happening. The innovative edge binding and outer layer of cordura fabric increase dirt resistance and durability while reducing wrinkles and enhancing comfort and skin integrity. The Flat-MountTM end fittings made of plastic reinforced with metal are included with the two-point center-pull hip belt in order to facilitate mounting. While high-performance foam pads offer better resiliency and pressure distribution, a soft, wrinkle-free fabric lining improves comfort.

Essentials Padded Hip Belts are in two buckle styles:

New DuraLatchTM Buckle – This durable and stylish aircraft-style buckle has a patented design created specifically for CRT use. Designed with an easy-to-lift cover, this buckle accommodates all levels of hand function. Add optional Pull Loop (sold separately) to slot on buckle cover to make release even easier. A two-stage release and wide 70° opening angle minimize accidental detachment. Comfortable, lightweight resin significantly exceeds ISO standards for strength. Available in sizes M46 and L62.

Side Release Buckle – Familiar design is lightweight, crush resistant, and prevents accidental release. Available in sizes S38, M46 and L62.
