Short for “Combat Helo Load-rated Kit,” the Blue Force Gear CHLK Belt combines modern materials with innovative design to create a lightweight, low-profile duty belt with unparalleled maneuver coefficient. Crafted around the needs of helicopter assaulters, it features the hardened points they need to tether themselves to the anchor points on a helicopter.
Engineered for Comfort
Inspired by the changes leather belts undergo after they have been broken in from everyday use, the CHLK Belt features a 32-degree curve designed to mimic the contour of the human waist. The belt also features a subtle outward cant from top to bottom, resulting in a more comfortable fit at both the waist and the hips. This makes it far better suited for long-term wear than typical flat-profile battle belts.
Load-rated Features
The CHLK Belt was designed to fulfill two roles: a premier duty belt and safety equipment for commandos to securely snap into helicopters. The belt has two semi-rigid tether points at the front and rear, an ANSI spec load-rated buckle, and proprietary Dyneema®-nylon hybrid webbing for a static load rating of 3500 lbs.
MOLLEminus™ Outer Belt
The MOLLE-compatible outer belt is designed to attach via hook-and-loop to the updated inner belt securely and fastens with a load-rated buckle. Using modern materials, including ULTRAcomp high-performance laminate, the outer belt is lightweight and flexible enough for long-term comfort. Still, it is rigid enough to serve as a stable attachment platform for pouches and duty holsters.
ULTRAcomp® Inner Belt Design
The cushioned inner belt, laser cut from ULTRAcomp high-performance laminate, can also be worn independently as a lightweight EDC or pistol belt. The ULTRAcomp inner belt includes a G-Hook for improved fit and a more secure connection.
MOLLE Compatible
The CHLK Belt is a precision laser cut MOLLEminus design that is compatible with Helium Whisper® pouches, pouches featuring legacy MOLLE, or belt-mounted systems. The possibility of stitching failures that can occur with standard PALS loops has been eliminated by cutting MOLLEminus slots directly into the ULTRAcomp. The MOLLEminus system gives the user more mounting options for gear than what is possible with traditional MOLLE systems.
