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.

Duty gear
Great rigid belt. It comes with an inner rigid velcro belt. The stitching seems extremely solid. I use to run a Ronin belt at work, until one of my co workers recommended this belt. I bought this belt during a sale, which was almost half the cost cheaper than my Ronin belt. I use to recommend the Ronin belt to all my co workers and new guys when they're looking for a tactical belt, but not anymore. The SMU is lower in cost and has everything the Ronin belt has to offer, the laser cut molle is extremely sturdy and rigid, which keeps your pouches hugged tight against the belt. The SMU belt is currently one of my most trusted piece of equipment that I recommend to all my co workers, and anyone that's looking for a tactical belt.

SMU
Tough, durable, and American made. The belt is stiff and rigid even with or without the inner belt, no problems attaching the pouches, and when you put a True North MDA it gets even better. I would recommend using CKK molle clips just makes everything super easy….Great product AWS inc!!!

Fantastic bit of kit.
I wear this almost every day for work for about 11 hours daily, and I have it loaded with gear. I’ve had the belt for two years of hard use and still absolutely love it, and I regularly recommend it To my colleagues.

Amazing product

Duty Belt - Life Changing
I’m a cop, and bought this as a duty belt after a military friend recommended it. I push a patrol car for 12+ a day and until I switched to this belt did I realize how uncomfortable I was. The smaller width and weight makes sitting in my car feel like I’m wearing a normal belt. If you want immense comfort with incredible functionality and high quality materials, buy this belt. Worth every penny, wish I had bought one sooner.

SMU Operator Composite Molle Belt Set
Spent several hours running around the range today in 98 degree Virginia weather. This belt system is on point. So rigid, and yet moves enough not to dig. Mounting pouches was straight forward. The fact that the inner belt was included ensured the fit and mounting worked as desired. Excellent piece of gear for a reasonable price. Delivery was quick. And, this is important! Follow the sizing instructions to the letter. There is some latitude, but if you don’t follow instructions it’ll be wrong. My new favorite piece of gear.
