The ability to shift the weight around different parts of the body can be a lifesaver on a long ruck. The Padded Hip Belt allows you to rest more of your ruck’s weight on your hips with the added comfort of hip padding. When rucking significant distances or time (like at a GORUCK event), having a Padded Hip Belt lets you give your shoulders a break from time to time.
A padded stabilizer belt pulls the bottom of your rucksack inward around your hips or belly and keeps it in place, minimizing side-to-side sway and stabilizing the load on your back. With 210 HT Cordura on the underside of the hip belt, you don’t have to worry about irritation on the skin or damage to clothing. That means no friction burn and longer, more powerful rucks.
NOTE: Hip Belts are compatible with Side MOLLE webbing on rucks, like GR1, GR2, and Rucker. Rucks without Side MOLLE webbing, like GR3,RPC, and Bullet are not compatible with Hip Belts.
