Do you need an inner / outer and keepers

Is it necessary inner belt and keepers for your duty belt. This is one of the most common questions we receive about duty belts and police belts.

Inner Belt:
The inner belt is 1.5 inches tall with soft Velcro on the outside. It's designed to go through the loops on your pants to help hold them up. Our 911 Gear belts include a polymer insert to provide some rigidity and support. The inner belt is used as support for our outer belt to keep it place.

Outer Belt:
Our outer belt is 2 inches tall and has hard Velcro on the inside. Its worn over the inner belt attaching to it using belt keepers. This setup gives your belt strength and prevents it from moving around while working, especially when carrying heavy items like handcuffs, batons, firearms, and magazines.

Do You Need Them?
The answer depends on how you wear your belt and what equipment you carry. If you're not carrying large pouches onr anything heavy on your belt, you can use just an outer belt. However, for heavier gear, we recommended to use both an inner and outer belt together with keepers to prevent movement.

Considerations:
Some pants have belt loops to hold a 2-inch belt directly, but the loops may restrict where you can place your equipment and how much you can carry. For smaller waist sizes, using a single 2-inch belt can pose space and fitting challenges.
