Bunker Gear EDC Belt

Q: What is the belt made from?

Real decommissioned firefighter bunker (turnout) gear, reinforced with double-stitched 1 inch Mil-Spec edge binding.

Q: How do I size and cut the belt?

Universal 48-inch length. Thread through buckle, find your fit, cut off the extra, and melt the cut end with a lighter to seal it.

Q: Is this belt load-bearing or for climbing?

No. Not rated for climbing or heavy loads. Built as a tough EDC belt that resists sagging.
