INTRODUCTION
The Crye Precision LRB™ is a stable and comfortable load-rated platform belt

This belt is exible for comfort but sturdy enough to support a holster and other
heavy gear. Wear alone, over a VELCRO®loop INNER BELT or use as an insert in

harness tested to the strength requirements of EN-12277.
