Key Features of Propper Security Guard Gear

Security Guard Belts

1. Webbing: It determines the strength, rigidity, and how well the belt supports the gear used as part of professional security guard clothing.

• Single-Layer Nylon Webbing: Belts such as Tactical Duty Belt with Metal Buckle and 360 Belt are made from single-layer nylon webbing, which offers the perfect balance of flexibility and strength.
• 100% nylon webbing: Some belts, like the Tactical Belt 1.75 Quick Release Buckle, Lift Release Tactical Belt, and Ratchet Tactical Belt, are made from 100% nylon webbing that is duty gear/holster ready.

2. Buckle Systems: Different buckles offer varying levels of security and convenience.

• Ratcheting Buckle System: This buckle system allows infinite adjustment to achieve the perfect fit.
• Quick-Release Buckle System: It enables rapid donning and doffing while maintaining a secure hold.
• Clamp-Style Buckle System: This type of buckle system grips the webbing securely.

3. Release and Removal: Some belts include a quick loosening mechanism, which is important for safety and efficiency in critical situations.

• Quick Loosening: A discreet release lever provides quick removal when needed.
