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 Operator composite Molle belt
Just received the belt so haven't really had a chance to test it fully. First impressions is that it is well made. It's also slim and ridged. I like the look of it and fit.
-
Best and price!
The belt is very stiff and will hold everything I need. The 2 inner belts I got are also great because you get a 1.5 and 2 inch. You can use it as a edc belt if you like and easy to adjust. Overall very great product

SMU Belt
If you’re reading this, you have a specific purpose in buying a belt such as this. The market is currently saturated with tons of choices, some of which are so overpriced it makes no sense. At the end of the day ~ it’s a belt. Enter AWS… Their version is by far the best one I’ve tried. So much so, I purchased one. It has every feature I was looking for. I own several AWS products currently, so I knew how bombproof the construction would be. At this price point, the belt is a “no brainer”. There’s not another brand on the market where you’ll get more for your money. I fully expect this belt to endure years of use. One more thing I’d like to add… The customer service you get here is hard to find these days. I botched the sizing on my order (my fault). One email to AWS and just a couple days later ~ all was corrected and I had the correct size in hand. Get yourself one of these. Great product & a GREAT company!

Quality operator belt!
This belt can take a beating. It is made of high quality materials which makes it feel very durable. Running a full size handgun, pistol and AR mag pouches, a knife with holster, and med pouch with no problems. I am loving this belt.

SMU Operator Belt
Just acquired my second SMU. These belts are exactly what a gun or battle belt should be. Stiff, but sized to be comfortable, with laminate molle that is exceedingly strong. For the price…these are as good or better than any other on the market. Don’t hesitate to purchase one!

AWS SMU Operator Belt is Perfection Exemplified
I did extensive research on updating to a 2 piece belt from a padded HGSI war belt design. The composite material used on this belt is next level - and matches up perfecting to the CP SPC type composite on my plate carrier. I ordered this on a Monday and it was received on the far upper left coast within 72 hours! Absolutely impressed with the design, quality, rigidity of the composite molle, and the 1.5" inner belt rigidity. Absolutley perfect design. For reference I generally wear a 36" pant size and ordered the large and its a perfect fit. Train hard with your gear, stay frosty and buy American. AWS is leading the way! Cheers -

Great product
This belt is fantastic definitely "extreme duty" I have had this belt for over a year now and have put alot of strain on it but it has held up nicely. Minor scratches and cosmetic damage but overall the belt seems just as sturdy as when I first purchased it. Shipping was extremely fast compared to other manufacturers mine came in just a week. Just ordered another for my ERT set up.

SMU belts
I purchased this belt roughly a year ago and since then I acquired another. I have 2 identical setups. One for duty and the other for the range. I am a patrol officer that wears this belt daily and it has been nothing but outstanding. The stiffness and quality of the stitching is solid. I’ve owned numerous belts from big name manufacturers and this belt not only competes, but outperformed them. Most of the other belts lost stiffness or the stitching came undone over time, or became worn down quickly. If I had to issue my entire department a belt, the SMU would be it. I have a 36” waist and I wear a large for comparison if anyone is wondering on sizing.
