Norden Outdoors is pleased to announce the DarkSide inner/outer belt system, their solution to today’s hook and loop gun belts. Norden has taken the popular EDC belt from Boxer Outdoors called the Apogee and developed a ratcheting system that uses opposing force to attach an outer belt to the Apogee comfortably.
The attachment hardware that makes the DarkSide unique is machined from 7075 billet aluminum and was designed and manufactured in Bigfork, Montana. The two belt options are both designed and manufactured in the US. The Elite belt is a 2″ TPU coated webbing that has laser-cut MOLLE compatible attachments. The ends of the belt are made of the same material and are RF Welded to the main strap. The nylon version is constructed like the standard shooter’s belt you are used to seeing, made from two layers of 1.75″ US made nylon with bar tacked MOLLE compatible PALS. The ends are bar tacked to the webbing and are made from ULTRAcomp® laminate materials.
The DarkSide is available now at NordenOutdoors.com, with an MSRP of $160.00 for the DarkSide Nylon and $175.00 for the DarkSide Elite. The complete inner/outer belt system with Apogee belt has an MSRP $250.00.
