This comes with some sacrifice on durability compared to other brands that have 2-3x heavier toolbelts. We focus on making your days easier and consider your body more valuable than 500$ toolbelt

Curved belts are unique to toolbelt world, instead of focusing to have the largest support on your body, their shape wraps around your hips, creating very uniform pressure with no hard spots

DURABILITY

Lightweight does not mean its weak or is designed to fail. Construction of every product is focused around having redundant features and stitches that are designed to have back ups. In case of failure, it should do that in a sequence over period of time, that will maximize life of the toolbelt.
