Safariland and Haley Strategic Partners Launch the BASELINE Belt Line

Most gun belts fail in the same place. The closure, where load concentrates and years of cinching eventually work slop into a belt that was supposed to stay rigid. Safariland and Haley Strategic Partners built the BASELINE system specifically around that problem, and the result is two belt models now live in black, with coyote brown, multicam, and ranger green to follow.

The construction is what separates BASELINE from standard nylon duty belts. Both models are built from laminate rather than stacked nylon webbing, which is how Safariland gets rigidity without the weight penalty. The Overlock Tab Closure paired with an integrated 1-inch Raptor buckle handles true 360-degree support at the closure point, which is actually the spot most belt systems treat as an afterthought. Materials throughout include MIL-SPEC webbing, waterproof laminate, a high-density polyethylene stiffener, and Velcro Brand High Technology Hook for inner belt engagement. Both belts ship with a Mandible Vertical MOLLE Strap 2-Pack, so you’re not buying accessories before you can put it to use.

The inner belt question is the first thing people ask when they see a two-piece setup. Haley Strategic makes two options sold through Safariland. The D3 Inner Belt ($25.00) is the entry option, comfortable and streamlined with Velcro hook and loop closure, compatible with BASELINE or any other Velcro-based outer belt. The D3 Pro Inner Belt ($45.00) steps up the padding and structure for all-day wear under a loaded outer belt.
