I.C.E. Claw Belt Gen 2

All right, this is the I.C.E. Claw Belt. It was part of the range and carry line. This is the first generation. The first generation Claw Belt used the G hook, like a lot of belts do. Relatively stiff vertically and it adjusted pretty well around the waist. So it really got to grow on people. But what you had to do, you really had to feed this through every time, into the hook. So the claw just kind of lived there on the belt. Well, we're goin' to gen two. Gen two is a real evolution of the I.C.E. Claw Belt idea. And this one, we actually just loosened the claw up, and we can get this G hooked pretty quickly and easily. And this is a brand new one out of there and this is where it disconnects. So we still have that same vertical stability. We still have that same flexibility around the body, so that we're gonna have a comfortable belt that'll still support all of our gear. And remember the whole idea was range and carry. So while this prototype here is a little bit flashy with the gray and the orange trim, we know that the regular gray, the regular black, and the regular tan are gonna be the kind of belts that anybody can wear, you know. These are climbing pants and I think if I stood up to do some rock climbing somewhere in you know, California, Colorado or whatever, no one's gonna look at this belt and say, "Oh, it's tactical, who's this guy with the, you know, military stuff." You know, this is just a really simple belt. We get the hook and loop closure here. We set this relatively loose. We come over, and one of the big evolutions for the gen two, is we now have two loops. So this isn't just one size fits all. It's not, you have to pick your size and not adjust for inside the waistband carry, versus outside of the waistband. With a gun, without a gun, all those things. With these two loops, it pretty much accommodates for that switch between inside the waistband and outside the waistband, it gives you an extra inch or two. So I can come in here. I can get it on the smaller size. I just open that loop up a little bit. I get my hook in there, and then I pull this tight. Now, what you're gonna see, is that this is trapped now. A lot of people will talk about, even when they were using the hook, when they were able to use the claw, the way it was originally designed on the first ones, this would come off, they'd lose it, it wasn't captured. We also had to worry about this tail and what to do with the tail. The capture gives us the hook side of the hook and loop and it allows us to strap it back. So we can come back over here now and get this hooked in onto the loop and then pull it tight, and then just put that right there. And I think this gen two is a great evolution for the I.C.E. Claw Belt. I'm excited about it. You can find it on our store at icestore.us.
