The Recon Belt is for those times when a full Prairie Belt would be overkill. It has a single layer of non-removable thin closed cell foam (the same as the thin foam in the PB) and an outer layer of First Spear 6/12 PALS cut fabric that goes all the way around the back. There are also included delta straps for use on the Umlindi and Aston House packs. The closure system is the same Osprey style with ITW Cobra buckle used on the Prairie Belt. Because there are no stay pockets, this belt can only be used on packs that have a lumbar flap style capture system. The Recon Belt also makes a good battle belt that can be worn under or over cover garments.
