IA Combat Holster Belt

IA Combat Holster Belt, manufactured in the UK by Intelligent Armour.

The IA Combat Holster Belt was designed by Intelligent Armour upon requests from some of our Special Forces clients who required a tactical quick release belt, strong and stiff enough to carry the weight of a holster or thigh-rig mount, but lighter than other holster, combat belts or CQB Riggers belts.

With attention to detail and to the materials used, the IA Combat Holster Belt is truly one of the very best combat belts on the market today.

If we are not showing the belt that you require in stock, please contact us and we will manufacture one for you.

The issue with many combat belts such as the Blackhawk CQB Riggers belt or the 5.11 Tactical Operator belt is that you have to keep adjusting it for size and threading the tie-off end through your combat trouser loops. We decided that our belt would allow for adjustment but would also allow for quick and silent release. Weight is also an issue and as anyone who has ever been in combat will know, reducing weight is everything.

Combat Holster Belt – Options

Intelligent Armour has added a few options to enable the wearer to customise the belt to suit tactical operational requirements and theatres of operation.

Colours – options

The IA Combat Holster Belt is available in four webbing and four Cobra buckle colours. The colours available are: Black, Tan, Foliage Green and Olive Drab Green. For best colour match with Multicam or UK MTP army issue clothing, we recommend the UKSF Riggers Belt in either Tan or Foliage Green.

Firm structure

With the feedback that we have had about other holster and riggers belts, we have stiffened the IA Combat Holster Belt to provide support for leg hip or thigh mounted holsters or pouches. Ideal for infantry and Special Forces use, the IA Combat Holster Belt is designed as a load bearing belt, for when more support is required.

The AustriAlpin Cobra Buckle

Designed and manufactured in Austria, the Cobra Buckle are, without equal, the world's safest, most finely crafted, and strongest load bearing quick release fasteners available. They are also the only buckle style fastener in the safety products market that will not open while under load. That makes them the best choice for ensuring the highest degree of safety. The AustriAlpin Cobra Buckles tensile strength is 18Kn.

Cobras are CNC machined from the highest grade 7075 aluminium alloy and feature solid brass and stainless internal release mechanisms. All AustriAlpin Cobra Buckles are tested and certified by highly respected independent /3rd party test houses and exceed Military Specification guidelines.

AustriAlpin Cobra Buckles are tested to the following standards:

• MIL-STD 810F (510.4) Blowing Dust Test Cert
• MIL-STD 810F (510.4) Blowing Sand Test Cert
• MIL-STD 810F (509.4) Salt Fog / Corrosion Resistance Test Cert

Webbing and thread

Having looked at both the Blackhawk CQB Riggers Belt and also the 5.11 Operators Belt, we decided that the best possible combination of materials were military specification webbing; type 7 with a tensile strength of 6000lb.

Military grade type 7 webbing, manufactured to the following standards:

• MIL-W-4088
• MIL-W-27265 (R)

The IA Combat Holster Belt has been sewn with military grade type 69 nylon bonded thread; this threadprovides superior strength while resisting rot and mildew.

We have resin treated the loose tie-off end of the IA Combat Holster Belt to prevent the webbing getting frayed with age; this also makes it easier to manage when adjusting the belt.
