Pro Waist Belt

Solid build, though strap rotation can be tricky

Overall, I am satisfied with the product. However, one minor drawback is that the strap connectors rotate 180 degrees. It takes some getting used to when buckling the belt to ensure it is facing the right way.

Not exactly what I expected, still great

Doesn't look exactly like the picture, maybe it shows a 20L version and I have a 25L. The one I recieved has a single 50mm strap and not two smaller straps that join like you see on the listing. Other than that, pretty much the same. I also thought it would attach to the backpack with two points like the Velcro Waist Belt and not a single one, but that was just me mixing listings up. Because of that single attatch point, it can easily rotate when not used, so it often comes "upside down", nothing really bothering as you quickly learn to "feel" it and turn it 180° before cliping it without even having to think about it, but a two-points attachment could be an improvement. Other than that it does the job, I really feel an improvement on my back on a daily basis, it holds my lower back much more firmly, in addition to the great improvement the backpack already gives to my back. I was afraid the size of the cusions would make the belt too clumsy and impractical when moving the backpack or storing it when the belt is detatched, but you quickly get used to it and it's not an issue at all. I would recommand this product!

Great option to replace the original waistbelt

It offers better support than the original waistbelt. and allows you to attach accessories such as a small additional pouch. I think this belt would benefit from having side pockets in which to slip small accessories that you always need to have close at hand. That's why I'm only giving it 4 stars.
