On the basis of the popular two-piece hook-and-loop fastener system, Nordenoutdoors, an American tactical equipment and clothing manufacturer, has introduced a masterpiece that combines many design elements of the most popular shooting belt on the market at present.
At present, their new DarkSideElite and DarkSide nylon series belts adopt the most popular design scheme, connecting the inner belt (apogee) with the outer belt (DarkSideElite or nylon). The inner belt is worn in the belt loop of trousers, and the outer belt is fixed with aluminum buttons.
The unlocking mechanism is located in the middle and both ends of the belt. Its working mode and principle are similar to the traditional ALICE system, but it is larger and easier to operate.
After the outer belt is sleeved outside the inner belt, the correct positioning and locking of the whole waist bearing system can be ensured by simple adjustment. The advantage of this design is worth mentioning, that is, silence. Compared with the most popular designs of similar products, such as RoninSenshi, FerroConceptsBison or RaptorTacticalDunbar, this cutting-edge product produces much less noise when wearing and removing the outer belt, which can be said to be highly optimized.
DarkSide series belts are available in two versions. The elite model is TPU- thermoplastic polyurethane covered by materials. Compared with traditional nylon products, it greatly reduces the weight of the belt. Because MOLLE ribbon adopts laser cutting technology, the waistband is also relatively flat, so it is not easy to hook.
Elite series belts are available in black and gray versions. The belt width is 2 inches, and the available sizes range from S(2 1 inch) to XL(30 inches).
The nylon model, as its name implies, is a classic structure made of nylon with MOLLE webbing. This model is currently available in black and multi-camera colors. The width of nylon waist is 1.75 inches, and the sizes range from S(2 1 inch) to XL(30 inches).
Of course, when matching the whole set, you should also choose an inner band called APOGEE, which has four colors: black, CB, hunter orange, OD and wolf grey. In addition, users can choose the color of the inner belt buckle: black, matte black or green.
