Welcome to the forums RB92777.

Yes, welcome. Is this the site you were talking about?

Yeah, that's it. I've got a bunch of stuff made by them, rifle slings etc... There stuff is EXTREMLY well made with heavy stiching. I/m pretty rough on gear and they are one of the few manufactures that make stuff I can't tear up. Plus, there customer service is awesome. RB

I own a belt like that. Firefighters use it as a last chance belt, to attatch a carrabiner and a descending device to get out of a flashover situation very quickly. it is not something that i ever wanted to use though. If you were in that situation, it was either use that piece of equipment or die. Period.

I just purchased this one a couple weeks ago:

http://www.specialforces.com/store/c...Sere_Belt.html

The V-Ring is separate from the buckle and permanently attached (there is a velcro strap to hold it down flush when not in use). The end of the belt also has velcro so after you pull through the buckle you velcro it down. Only thing to note is that in the picture they show a flint/steel next to the hidden compartment. I have that same flint/steel and it does NOT fit in there. Cash folded in half lengthwise fits nicely (I'm using it for cash and a copy of my passport). The belt is pretty wide also, just fits in the loops of standard BDU pants.

Also, it weighs in at about 3/4 of a pound, so ultralighters might not dig it.

Specs from the page:

The belts are constructed of Type 13 webbing, MS22040 forged steel buckles, and sewn with parachute weight thread to a 7,000 lb. breaking strength.

I plan to do one test rappel out of a low tree this summer (if I can afford some good rope and a rappel thingy) :-)
