Valjas slim belt pad

This is pretty much as simple as a belt pad can be and works with pretty much any belt that fits. The flat belt loops, made from 25 mm webbing, are 60 mm wide. As these are attached with 25 mm spacing they can be used to attach PALS-compatible pouches horizontally.

The padding is two layers of 4 mm thick dense closed cell foam. The body side is made from rubberized friction fabric, it keeps the padded belt from sliding up and down and all around.

Check out the 3-piece belt pad of our Valjas belt system if you’re looking to carry a heavier belt kit. The larger, wider pads allow for more carrying comfort and feature dedicated harness attachment D-rings.

Fit and sizing

The ”S-M”, ”M-L” and ”L-XL” sizing should be considered a rough guideline! The S-M pad is 70 cm (27,5”) long, the M-L pad is 80 cm (31,5”) long and the L-XL pad is 95 (37,5”) cm long. These work best with a 15-30 cm (6-12”) gap in between the pad ends at the front.

To find your size:

1. Get dressed as you would be when using your padded belt, trouser belt and all.
2. Measure your circumference at the height where you want to wear your padded belt, most commonly this is just above your hips.
3. Say that measurement is 100 cm (40”), a S-M pad would leave a full 30 cm (12”) gap at the front, whilst a M-L would leave a 20 cm (8”) gap at the front. In this case we recommend going with the M-L.
