Inspired by the 1980s climber's friction belt, it uses two CNC-machined titanium rings for infinite micro-adjustment with no holes, no snaps, and no plastic. At 3.5 oz it wears flat under a shirt or layered over technical shorts, and the hook-and-loop tab keeps the tail locked down. Unique to the PDW design is a QR webbing tab on one of the titanium rings allowing for a quick release of the friction tension. Available in Universal Field Gray and waist sizes 28 to 42.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003csection data-cap-container=\"long-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA climber's friction belt, refined.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ring belt traces back to 1980s rock climbers who needed a belt they could loosen over a harness and cinch back down on the wall. The design never went out of style because it does one thing better than any buckled belt: it adjusts to exactly the length you need, in any increment. The Ti-Ring Belt carries that pattern forward with instrument-grade materials and small-batch American construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt around two CNC-machined titanium rings.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost ring belts use stamped steel or cast aluminum hardware. Ours are CNC-milled from titanium: lighter, stronger, and fully corrosion-proof in sweat, salt, and rain. The twin-ring geometry creates the friction lock that holds the belt in position under load and releases cleanly with a pull on the tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighter weight MILSPEC tracer rigger's webbing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe spec a custom-milled, lighter weight variant of MILSPEC tracer rigger's webbing. It is rigid enough to support EDC gear without rolling, soft enough to wear over technical shorts, and specified to hold its hand through years of wash cycles.

You thread the webbing tail through both rings, fold it back through the first ring, and pull tight. Friction between the webbing and the rings locks it in place. The design originated with rock climbers in the 1980s and is valued for infinite adjustment without holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Ti-Ring Belt adjust?\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed the webbing tail through both titanium rings, pass it back through the first ring only, and pull to tighten. To loosen, lift the free end and pull. The hook-and-loop QR tab secures the tail against the belt so it does not flap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs titanium better than steel or aluminum for a belt?\u003c\/strong\u003e Titanium is roughly 45 percent lighter than steel at comparable strength and will not rust or corrode in sweat, salt water, or rain. Unlike anodized aluminum, it does not flake or wear through to a different color. For a belt that lives on your body daily, titanium is the longest-service-life material available in this form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size should I order?\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure with a cloth tape around the outside of your pants, not your bare waist, at the point where you wear the belt. The listed size is the smallest measurement when fully cinched. Each size adjusts approximately +4 inches up from that number. For odd measurements, order the next size up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it hold a holster, sheath, or heavy EDC?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ti-Ring Belt is designed as an everyday carry belt for knives, multi-tools, pouches, and light sheaths. It is not rated as a dedicated duty or gun belt. For heavier concealed carry loads, a dedicated double-layer rigger belt is a better tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3.5 ounces, depending on size. Among the lightest full-function belts made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut, sewn, and assembled in Washington State, USA. Titanium rings are CNC-machined in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Air dry. Do not machine dry. The titanium rings need no maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"P D W","offers":[{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 28","offer_id":51367606583583,"sku":"3060128UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 30","offer_id":51367606616351,"sku":"3060130UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 32","offer_id":51367606649119,"sku":"3060132UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 34","offer_id":51367606681887,"sku":"3060134UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 36","offer_id":51367606714655,"sku":"3060136UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 38","offer_id":51367606747423,"sku":"3060138UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 40","offer_id":51367606780191,"sku":"3060140UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Universal Field Gray \/ 42","offer_id":51367606812959,"sku":"3060142UFG","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0407\/6641\/files\/titanium-ring-belt-universal-field-gray-1.jpg?v=1776375517","url":"https:\/\/prometheusdesignwerx.com\/products\/ti-ring-belt-titanium-friction-belt-universal-field-gray","provider":"Prometheus Design Werx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
