Haley Strategic D3 Outer Belt (Snake Bite D-Ring)

The Disruptive Environments® (D3) product legacy is a hallmark of innovation in tactical nylon. We set out to create a new D3 Belt worthy of that elite lineage based on input from gunfighters of every community including SOF operators, infantryman, federal and local law enforcement officers, world class competitive shooters, and everyday responsible armed civilians. Our mission was simple: Deliver a zero-fail equipment solution that is forward thinking, intelligently designed, and tailored to the gunfighter.

From the start of the design process, our Blackside development team met with professional end users and set out to address the most common issues plaguing their current two-piece belt systems—issues including sloppiness at the closure, belts loosening under movement, uncomfortable weight distribution when fully outfitted, and weak inner to outer belt adhesion rose to the top of the list. The result of our rigorous test and evaluation process took nearly two-years to complete but resulted in a new gun belt constructed thinner, lighter, and stronger than standard two-piece belt offerings currently available. The all new D3 Belt deploys the latest manufacturing techniques and advanced materials to deliver an innovative system that seamlessly supports all end users.

A special thanks to all of the end users who provided critical test and evaluation feedback throughout the design process. At Haley Strategic we exist to serve and are honored to have the opportunity to work with gunfighters of every community.

DETAILS

The D3 Belt features a brand new Overlock Tab closure system that secures behind the buckle providing 360-degree rigidity for all day comfort and superior weight distribution around the hips. Traditional nylon belt systems are flimsy at the buckle closure resulting in uncomfortable and unequal weight distribution.

The primary construction consists of precision laser cut nIR compliant, nylon laminate, high-density polyethylene (hydrophobic and antimicrobial), and tubular webbing (4,000 lb MBS rating) for uncompromising strength that eliminates unnecessary bulk and weight. Inboard, the D3 Belt utilizes VELCRO® Brand High Technology Hook for unmatched adhesion to the inner belt. Traditional nylon belt systems use regular hook and loop resulting in poor inner to outer belt adhesion.

The COBRA® closure, developed in collaboration with AustriAlpin exclusively for the D3 Belt, includes an all-new Snakebite anti-slip clamp that eliminates strap creep and belt loosening under load/movement. The integrated Parachute D-ring exceeds ANSI, CSA, EN, and NFPA standards for fall protection (5,000 lb MBS rating). Traditional nylon belt closures loosen under movement.

The MOLLE interface on the D3 Belt features improved 1/2" spacing that allows for enhanced positioning of pouches while maintaining direct compatibility with Malice Clips®, traditional MOLLE/PALS webbing, and the Haley Strategic Mandible® MOLLE Straps

The D3 Belt combines the latest load carriage construction techniques with superior lightweight laminate materials to deliver a truly innovative solution for the modern warfighter, law enforcement officer, and responsible armed citizen.

Attention: Refer to the sizing guide, belt size is based on WAIST SIZE, not pants size. Pant size is impacted by vanity adjustments and is generally 2” to 4” smaller than true waist measurement. If you fall between sizing intervals, we recommend purchasing the size up.

Warning: The D3 Belt is NOT intended for horizontal positioning, restraint, rappelling, or fall protection, and should NEVER be used for any of these activities.
