Great weight distribution and room for snacks...

I really like the design, functionality and comfort provided by the Shimoda HD Waist Belts. I fell in love with the one on my Action-X 70 and wanted one for my Action-X 50 when I'm hiking longer distances with lighter kits. The weight transfer they allow is great and there is quick access to my stock of Clif bars

Finally!

Yaaaay! Finally!!! I have to have a waist strap for my packs - everyone should really I feel - it’s much more ergonomic. But I bought this to slide in place of the waist belt that came with my ThinkTank bag. That one was no worse than many others out there, but like all of them the padding just doesn’t come forward enough! The strap portion basically cuts into the top of my pelvis instead of distributing the weight across it with a wide band. This Shiloda design fit the bill. The Velcro is on the wrong side to stick to my ThinkTank but it’s wedged nicely and not going anywhere. The wide padded band distributes the weight and the added pockets are just a bonus! An iPhone 13Pro with a case just squeezes in at a somewhat tight fit because of the length. Could still throw some snacks or maybe a filter/battery in with it. And you still have the pocket on the other side too of course. Looking forward to trying this out on next big trip!
