Description:
In response to a request from a SPECIAL MISSION UNIT for a lightweight, low profile, extreme duty operator MOLLE belt capable of carrying heavy loads, a new SMU™ belt was created. Key feature being "extreme duty". Our standard LAB™ body and inner belt system was more than sufficient and became the starting point. After much trial and error testing a wide variety of materials, no single material was capable of providing the durability and strength requirements. All the best features from various materials were selected and bonded into a special composite lightweight material.
The adjustable MOLLE panels were replaced with a single strip of this new proprietary, specially engineered high strength bonded polymer coated fabric composte material. Made from one piece, the fixed laser cut MOLLE pattern strip provides extreme abrasion resistance, very high tensile strength which saves weight, creates a lower profile and adds a much higher load carrying capacity.
Laser cut for clean sealed edges, this composite material is designed for extended wear and high durability for the most demanding operations.
CAUTION - The SMU SYSTEM, in conjunction with a harness, should only be used by trained individuals to ensure maximum safety. It is not recommended to use as a stand-alone safety device.

SMU Belt
After using this belt system in competition for several months I can safely say this is the only belt I’ll ever use. Super comfortable for long range days and stiff enough to hold any first line gear.
-
A great value.
I searched high and low trying to find the right belt. The one i got from AWSis rock solid. It looks, feels, and preforms like a professional grade product because it is. Build quality is great. I was able to wait for a sale and got it at a super reasonable price too. This thing should last me virtually forever.

SMU Belt
I bought this belt to use in lieu of an issued belt and honestly am blown away by the quality that has gone into this piece. The laser cut composite is thin and very unsuspecting in terms of its strength and durability. The belt is /comfortable/ to wear and has a sturdy feel to it. I'm about a 32.5" in the waist on the skinnier side and ordered a Medium, it definitely fits with the excess folded over out of the way, but I would have considered a Small if I could have tried them on before purchase. You can tell it's meant to go up to 35". The 2" inner belt is about what you expect, I personally might buy a Small or go the route of cutting some of the excess to better fit my waist. The molle also may be a little thick on the horizontal side, with some of my pouches being secured in an odd way, but don't let that make you think it doesn't work! It absolutely secures my equipment without fuss and as close to the belt as possible with the slimmer design of the composite. Overall, 9/10, only held back from 10 because of my own sizing in-betweens.

SMU BELT
High quality belt, just upsized from a small that I beat to hell with multiple field events and not so nice use with weather. This thing will last. Easy to Molle and able to be one wrapped if that’s your thing. Very rigid but comfortable.

50771 SMU™ OPERATOR COMPOSITE MOLLE BELT SET
Well made, can’t recommend enough. AWS staff support was fantastic. Ran the product shorty after receiving and some cadre inquired about it after they noticed I didn’t need to make any adjustments. The belt stayed in place and was sturdy, making for consistent tasks and ultimately enabling me to qual. Strong work AWS.

Best Christmas gift ever!
My SIL asked for this for Christmas and was THRILLED with the gift. I ordered Dec 8 and assumed without reading it would arrive for Christmas. When I realized it wasn't going to make it, I reached out and they bent over backwards to make sure it would arrive. Make sure to read shipping times carefully. I didn't realize each is handmade to order. If you have a deadline, they will do everything possible to meet it

SMU Belt
I wear a gun belt for work as LE, I ordered this one for personal use to go gallivanting in the woods with. Phenomenal design, love everything about the belt.

Molle
The belt is highly compatible with any molle webbing, only caveat is that the AWS molle items have to skip the fist loop due to sizing of the belt webs. If they had a small gap between webs then all the slots could be used for user preference.
