We recently found a box of our original, Standard Hip Belts. These Hip Belts are an earlier version of our current Standard Hip Belts and are designed to fit just about any pack that accepts a double-sided velcro attachment. What does that mean and what packs does it fit? Well, these hip belts fit just about all of the Six Moon Designs packs and many ULA Packs. Basically, a pack just needs to have a minimum opening at the base of the pack of about 5.5" to 6" with velcro hooks on the back panel and velcro loops on the front panel (see photos). 
These Universal Hip Belts are constructed from multiple layers to provide both comfort and load support. The inner layer is a soft Taffeta material and is backed by a stiffer 3/8" thick foam core. To provide the structural rigidity necessary for load transfers, we added a rigid plastic sheet. This allows the pack weight to be distributed down and outward around your hips.
There is a cut out in the plastic at each end of the hip belt. When this is combined with our unique buckle, the hip belt can articulate and wrap around your hip bone. The unique 4 point buckle system allows you to lock the angle of the hip belt for a more comfortable and secure fit.
This Hip Belt is good for carrying weights comfortably from 30 pounds to well above.
The Universal Hip Belt is about 5.5" wide at its center. The Large has a padded length of 34" and is good for some with a 37" - 50" waist. The Medium is also about 5.5" at the center and has a padded length of 30" and is good for someone with a 33" - 37" waist. A good way to determine your size if you are in-between measurements is to measure the padded length with the center of the length on the center of the back of your waist. This way you can see if the padded portion of the hip belt covers the front of your hip bones.

Features





Dual One Liter Pockets - Too many packs employ hip belt pockets so small they'd crush a candy bar. Other packs make them add on option. Where they tend to slide off the hip belt unless properly secured.
The hip belt pockets on Six Moon Designs packs are some of the largest in the industry. At one liter each, they are sized large enough to carry a small camera, GPS, snacks, sun screen and other needed items. They are easy to open. Provide quick access needed gear. Still they aren't so large as to get in your way.





Four Point Buckle - Multi-Adjustment hip belts are not uncommon. However, typically there is a single piece of webbing that runs continuously between the tri-glide, buckle and back. With this arrangement the buckle can slide along the webbing. So as you walk the buckle will start to center itself between the two adjusters.
Our unique four point buckle system terminates each adjustable webbing at the buckle. This allows you to lock the angle of the hip belt. It will maintain the angle of the hip belt and provide you with a more comfortable and secure fit.
