Using reinforced polymer teeth to engage a ratchet-like mechanism in the buckle, Blade-Tech’s Ultimate Carry Belt allows wearers to change and fine-tune their fit throughout the day in 1/4" increments, without having to undo their buckle. Tightening requires that the wearer simply pull the tongue, and a discreet buckle-mounted release disengages the lock and allows the belt to loosen. The belt will fit waists from 25" to 50" (excess length can be removed by the user), and a reinforced polymer core ensures the belt won’t sag when bearing the weight of a firearm or gear. Available in black or brown leather with a stainless buckle, or black or coyote nylon webbing with a black buckle. Price: $50 (nylon), $60 (leather).
