Description

The Blue Force Gear CHLK™ Belt is a revolutionary approach to the modern battle belt, able to act as a low-profile pistol belt or a full-capacity MOLLE belt. The reversible pattern-matched inner belt can be worn as a standalone pistol belt. The outer belt is fully MOLLE compatible with MOLLEminus™ technology, which uses laser-cut slots instead of traditional sewn webbing. Please see this CHLK belt page for sizing.

Short for “Combat Helo Load-rated Kit,” the Blue Force Gear CHLK Belt revolutionizes modern battle belt design. Crafted around the needs of helicopter assaulters, it features the hardened points required to tether themselves to the anchor points on a helicopter. The CHLK Belt combines modern materials with innovative design to create a lightweight, low-profile duty belt with unparalleled maneuver coefficient. As a part of the 2023 update, the CHLK Belt now features a removable, molded glove hanger.

Inspired by the changes leather belts undergo after they have been broken in from everyday use, the CHLK Belt features a 32-degree curve designed to mimic the contour of the human waist. The belt also features a subtle outward cant from top to bottom, resulting in a more comfortable fit at both the waist and the hips. This makes it far better suited for long-term wear than typical flat-profile battle belts.

The CHLK Belt was designed to fulfill two roles: a premier duty belt and safety equipment for commandos to securely snap into helicopters while performing INFIL/EXFIL and during flight. The belt has two semi-rigid tether points at the front and rear, an ANSI spec load-rated buckle, and proprietary Dyneema®-nylon hybrid webbing for a static load rating of 3500 lbs.

The MOLLE-compatible outer belt is designed to attach via hook-and-loop to the updated inner belt securely and fastens with a load-rated buckle. Using modern materials, including our ULTRAcomp high-performance laminate, the outer belt is lightweight and flexible enough for long-term comfort. Still, it is rigid enough to serve as a stable attachment platform for pouches and duty holsters.

The cushioned inner belt, laser cut from our ULTRAcomp high-performance laminate, can also be worn independently as a lightweight EDC or pistol belt. The ULTRAcomp inner belt has been updated for 2023 to include a G-Hook for improved fit and a more secure connection.

The CHLK Belt uses our precision laser cut MOLLEminus design that is compatible with pouches utilizing our own Helium Whisper® technology and pouches featuring legacy MOLLE and belt-mounted systems. We eliminate the possibility of stitching failures that can occur with standard PALS loops by cutting MOLLEminus slots directly into the ULTRAcomp. The MOLLEminus system gives the user more mounting options for gear than what is possible with traditional MOLLE systems.
