Särmä TST Battle Belt
Modestly put, this is the best battle belt on the market. We couldn’t find what we wanted elsewhere, so we designed our own. Thanks to the ergonomic design, the weight is distributed evenly. Very versatile attachment options make it possible to strap pretty much anything you need on this. Requires a separate duty belt inside.

A high-quality battle belt is a must-have for military stuff and also useful for other situations where you need to put a lot of gear on your belt in a practical manner. It is extremely nice to be able to put pockets on and take them off individually without having to take apart the whole crap like with more traditional belt loops. We have paid extra special attention to usability when designing our belt.
Laser-cut PALS surface
You'll find PALS-surface almost on the whole length of the Battle Belt. Instead of sewing, we used LASER-cut Cordura for three particular reasons. First of all, this design keeps pistol mag pouches and other narrow items more securely upright. Furthermore, it ensured a lighter and flatter belt. Third, it reduces manufacturing time and materials required, which saves money.
Unique, ergonomic design
Normally, battle belts are straight, but when you put a straight and stiff belt around your waist, it squeezes and chafes in the most annoying ways. That’s why we designed this completely differently. Our belt is curved, which means that it caresses your curves in a much ergonomic way. When you put this on, the weight of all your gear is distributed evenly and the belt will not bite into your skin even after extended periods of use.
Use
This is designed to be used with a separately sold duty belt. We recommend the Särmä TST Cobra Duty Belt but virtually any high-quality equipment belt will work. You can push the duty belt completely under the laser-cut PALS webbing. This way you attach the pockets, holsters, etc. to the PALS webbing only. However, you can also weave the belt under and over various sections of the webbing, which enables you to attach stuff on the duty belt as well - and retains the pouches on the PALS-webbing more securely.
Furthermore, we left the bottom part of the webbing open in three sections. This enables you to attach things to the duty belt from underneath. This way you can attach a drop leg holster, a gas mask bag, or other suitable gear to the belt. These various attachment options make this battle belt extremely versatile.
¨The battle belt has loops for a 45 mm (1.8”) duty belt. The loops keep the belt from swinging here and there like a madman’s dick. You can also use a 50 mm (2") duty belt, just don’t use the loops. The wider belt will stay in place even without them.
Materials
These battle belts are made of tough German 500D Cordura.
Sizing
These belts are available in four sizes. By default, the 4-step sizing of these is in line with other components of the Särmä TST belt system I.E. pick the smallest Battle Belt for G1, the second smallest for G2 and so on. The Battle Belt should be shorter than the equipment belt you use to secure it.
The indicated size is pretty much the true length of the belt with the ends not quite touching. Due to clothing and padding, the Battle Belt doesn't reach quite as far around you as you'd think based on the length figure alone.
You should note that the belt ends are supposed to remain separated in the front. About 10-15 cm (4”-6") of the duty belt that goes inside this will be visible. Choose the battle belt length with this in mind.
Others use the battle belt so that it is left more open in a way that the ends are closer to the hip bones. If you like a more open style, choose a smaller size to leave more clearance.
Manufactured by German MD-textil
These battle belts are manufactured by the German MD-textil, which is a family-owned business dedicated to tactical and technical gear. They make gear e.g. for the special dudes of the German army and border guard. They utilize state-of-the-art machines, which are almost as precise as German workers themselves.
To deliver only the best quality and maintain sustainable production, they are in close co-operation with special forces and do not source basic materials from low-wage countries. The fabrics, webbings, and sewing thread are made in Germany. The Velcro is made in Spain, and plastic parts are made in Italy.

Kujasto puolestaan ei mielestäni ole täysin tehtäviensä tasalla. Ainakin käyttämäni pienimmän koon selkäpuolella kujasto on paikoin niin kapeaksi leikattu, että irtiratkeamista tapahtui heti ensimmäisiä kertoja varusteiden paikkaa hakiessa.
Vuoden käytön jälkeen kujastossa on havaittavissa huolestuttavaa rispaantumista etenkin lipas/multitool-taskujen kohdilla, joissa tasku kiinnittyy vain yhteen riviin palssia. Rispaantumisesta johtuen olen vaihtanut pistoolin lipastaskujen kiinnityksen suoraan varustevyöhön, koska en enää pysty luottamaan taskujen kyydissä pysymiseen kujastoon kiinnitettyinä.
Lyhyellä käytöllä ihan suositeltava tuote, mutta jos (ja kuten toivoa sopisi) käyttö jatkuu vuosia, en pysty suosittelemaan heikon kujaston johdosta..

You wear another belt, as can be seen in some of the pictures. Battle belt carries gear that would otherwise pull your pants down if you attached to your pant belt or just make it a heck of a lot more comfortable to carry the weight of it on your hips.
