Hip Belts

We offer different hip belt styles ( Standard,  and UL Padded) . While all of our hip belts can be used interchangeably between all of our packs. Selecting the right hip belt for your specific load weight and waist size is important. The Standard hip belt is for heavier loads is the default hip belt on our Fusion Series packs and Flight 40 - Backpacker. The Ultralight Hip Belt is the original lighter-weight hip belt and is standard on the Flight 40 - FKT. The Ultralight Hip Belt runs smaller than other models. The UL Padded Hip Belt is our newer lightweight hip belt and comes standard on our Flight 30 and Minimalist packs.

Below is our size comparison table. You can find our updated size guide here .

Styles

The Standard Hip Belt is constructed from multiple layers to provide both comfort and load support. The inner layer is a soft 1/8" thick 3D mesh. It is backed by a stiffer 3/8" thick foam core. To provide the structural rigidity necessary for load transfers, we added a rigid plastic sheet. This allows the pack weight to be distributed down and outward around your hips.

There is a cut out in the plastic at each end of the hip belt. When this is combined with our unique buckle, the hip belt can articulate and wrap around your hip bone. The unique 4 point buckle system allows you to lock the angle of the hip belt for a more comfortable and secure fit.

This Hip Belt is good for carrying weights comfortably from 30 pounds to well above.
