Hip Belts

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.

Dual One Liter Pockets - Too many packs employ hip belt pockets so small they'd crush a candy bar. Other packs make them add on option. Where they tend to slide off the hip belt unless properly secured.

The hip belt pockets on Six Moon Designs packs are some of the largest in the industry. At one liter each, they are sized large enough to carry a small camera, GPS, snacks, sun screen and other needed items. They are easy to open. Provide quick access needed gear. Still they aren't so large as to get in your way.

Four Point Buckle - Milti-Adjustment hip belts are not uncommon. However, typically there is a single piece of webbing that runs continuously between the tri-glide, buckle and back. With this arrangement the buckle can slide along the webbing. So as you walk the buckle will start to center itself between the two adjusters.

Our unique four point buckle system terminates each adjustable webbing at the buckle. This allows you to lock the angle of the hip belt. It will maintain the angle of the hip belt and provide you with a more comfortable and secure fit.
