Suspension System
A no bounce experience
A no bounce experience

The LF 2L features an internal strap system that puts tension across the material in the back and makes it so the contents of the back pocket do not bounce.

Materials
Elastic with UHMWPE Ripstop
Elastic with UHMWPE Ripstop

The LF 2L uses a 70d stretch woven with a 3mm x 3mm UHMWPE ripstop making it extremely cut resistant. This is one of the most durable belts on the market.

Belt structure
Support + insulation
Support + insulation

The LF 2L features 3mm of foam against the back and 4 flexible plastic stays. This structure keeps the belt close to your body instead of rounding away from you back like other belts. The foam has holes punched into it for breathability. The foam also insulates your bottle from you body heat, keeping your liquids cooler for longer.

Internal pockets
Organize your gear where you want it
Organize your gear where you want it

The LF 2L has 5 interior pockets and 7 pockets total for organization. 4 pockets in the front for gels, trash, headphones, etc and one zippered pocket inside the back pocket. We believe the main pockets (front + back) should be large for the ultimate flexibility.

Organization
2 main pockets for flexible storage

We believe instead of many small pockets 2 main large pockets gives the ultimate flexibility. The outer pockets are split into the front and back. The front has 2 access points, and the back has one access point and spans the entire length between the dark black seams.

650mL Bottle
Maximizes water for belt size
Maximizes water for belt size

We felt like 500mL flasks were often too small for our medium to long runs, but didn't want to bump up to 2 flasks so we teamed up with Hydrapak to make a 650mL flask that hits the volume sweet spot. The bottle has a locking cap so it does not leak when pressure is applied to the nozzle. The bottle is compatible with the Katadyn BeFree and Hydrapak filter tops.

Pole + Axe Carry

One belt to rule them all

This is the first belt I've worn that works like its supposed to. It keeps its shape, doesn't bounce, and can fit a surprising amount of gear – everything I'd need for a few hours in variable conditions. I was skeptical of the rigidity of the materials, but have been very impressed. There are a few trade-offs. Because of all the material and structure I've found that it does run hot. I also struggled with sizing. I was between a small and medium (I'm 6'1, 155ish with a 30-31" waist). I've heard a lot of folks say to size up. For me I found that the small led to a more secure and bounce-free fit. This belt is worth the cost.

Exactly what I needed

Exactly what I was looking for: carries the essentials, lightweight, and stable. The extra structure makes the belt feel incredibly solid, and the tightening straps allow for a precision fit. Very quality piece of equipment that will surely see a lot of use... worth every penny!

LF - 2L - No longer need a vest!

This belt has made my vests obsolete and I love it! Long unsupported day, no problem. Race day, no problem. Just wore this for a 55k race and was able to store all necessary fuel and hydration. The structured back kept the belt in place with no bounce.

Fantastic Gear

When I first got the belt I was unsure about it. I was worried it was too tight and I struggled to put it on. However I got over that and it has easily become what I wear daily each day. This past weekend I ran a 50 miler this belt has the ability to carry everything you may need. Even on a nice hike outdoors. There is no bounce or shifting and more importantly I don’t feel restricted with a vest over top my shoulders. Highly recommend.

Absolutely worth it for any mountain runner

You’ll forget the pack is even there and it holds everything you need for a whole day in the mountains. I’ve tried a few other products and nothing compares to this one. Essential piece of equipment for the mountain runner or scrambler!
