This belt can be used with most pants with standard-sized belt
loops. Install as you would a normal belt by passing the RANGE
BELT™ through your pant belt loops, the buckle should be
positioned left-center.
To secure the RANGE BELT™, connect the male and female ttings.
If the hardware doesn’t positively lock, the male portion may be
upside down.

NOTE: This is the smallest sizing conguration, as the belt
is closer to your body than the other congurations. Some
overlapping ends can occur. If the slack retainer elastic impedes
adjustment, you can re-route the webbing around the elastic for an
additional 1.5” of adjustment.
Excess webbing should be routed through the pant belt loops, or
rolled and stowed under the RANGE BELT™ slack retainer elastic.
