Tactical belt

Abstract

Implementations described and claimed herein provide versatile tactical belts. In one implementation, at least one row of webbing is attached to a base belt at a plurality of attachment points. Each of the plurality of attachment points is spaced from an adjacent attachment point by a distance and forms a channel therebetween. A first end of the base belt extends through an opening in a first buckle portion to form an adjustable end portion. A second end of the base belt extends through an opening in a second buckle portion and is secured to the base belt to form a fixed end portion. A spacer has a spacer body with an inner surface and an outer surface. The spacer body includes a cover enclosing padding. The spacer releasably engages the base belt for comfort.

         3 . The tactical belt of  claim 2 , wherein the channels of the first row of webbing and the channels of the second row of webbing are adapted to receive one or more articles. 
     
     
         4 . The tactical belt of  claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of attachment points include a sewing line. 
     
     
         5 . The tactical belt of  claim 2 , wherein the distance is 0.5 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The tactical belt of  claim 2 , wherein a proximal edge of the first row of webbing is coplanar with a proximal edge of the base belt and a distal edge of the second row of webbing is coplanar with a distal edge of the base belt. 
     
     
         7 . The tactical belt of  claim 2 , wherein a distal edge of the first row of webbing is spaced from a proximal edge of the second row of webbing. 
     
     
         8 . The tactical belt of  claim 2 , wherein the first row of webbing and the second row of webbing extend along the outer surface of the base belt from a fixed end portion to an adjustable end portion. 
     
     
         9 . The tactical belt of  claim 8 , wherein the first row of webbing and the second row of webbing terminate at an adjustment surface of the adjustable end portion. 
     
     
         10 . A tactical belt comprising:
 a base belt having an outer surface and an inner surface extending between a first end and a second end;   a first buckle portion having a first opening defined in a first body;   a rod disposed in and separating the first opening into a first slot and a second slot, the first end of the base belt extending through the first slot and looping back through the second slot to form an adjustable end portion; and   a second buckle portion having a second opening defined in a second body, the second end of the base belt extending through the second opening and secured to the base belt to form a fixed end portion, the first buckle portion configured to releasably engage the second buckle portion.   
     
     
         11 . The tactical belt of  claim 10 , wherein the first buckle portion is a male buckle portion and the second buckle portion is a female buckle portion. 
     
     
         12 . The tactical belt of  claim 11 , wherein the male buckle portion includes a protrusion extending from the first body and a set of arms extending transversely to the protrusion, the set of arms adapted to releasably engage the female buckle portion. 
     
     
         13 . The tactical belt of  claim 11 , wherein the female buckle portion includes a channel defined in the second body and a set of spring loaded levers configured to rotate between a first portion and a second position, the first position securing the male buckle portion in the channel and the second position releasing the male buckle portion from the channel. 
     
     
         14 . The tactical belt of  claim 10 , wherein the second end of the base belt is secured to the inner surface of the base belt. 
     
     
         15 . The tactical belt of  claim 10 , wherein the adjustable end portion includes an adjustable end attachment surface disposed on an inner surface of the adjustable end portion, the adjustable end attachment surface configured to releasably engage a corresponding attachment surface disposed on the outer surface of the base belt. 
     
     
         16 . The tactical belt of  claim 15 , wherein the adjustable end attachment surface and the corresponding attachment surface are paired loop and hook attachment surfaces.
