Key Features & Benefits

• Maximum Load Distribution: Features an extra-wide, ergonomically molded back and hip plate that eliminates painful pressure points, spreading extreme drag tension evenly across your body during long-duration stand-up battles.

• Perfect Companion for Fighting Belts: Engineered to link effortlessly with heavy-duty drop straps and oversized stand-up fighting girdles/gimbals, creating a unified fighting system for maximum pulling power.
