ATD1 and ATD2 Backpacks come with a removable 1' / 25mm hip belt to stabilize the pack during active use, but some early users reached out to us asking for an additional full size, padded hip belt to actually bear the load and transfer pack's weight on the hips.
So, we developed a padded hip belt made out of 10mm closed cell Evazote50 and Cordura® 500den, featuring 2' (50mm) webbing and buckle, that fits in back panel lumbar loop using the existing webbing belt to attach it and to create tension.
To mount the belt on your ATD1 or ATD2, follow these steps: - Unroll eccess webbing in the included pack's webbing belt and remove the provided buckle. - Install the padded belt behind the lumbar loop of the pack - Slide the 1' webbing in the ladderlocks on each side of the padded belt and pull to create tension.- - Manage the excess webbing and get out to explore.
