I asked /k/, but I figure you guys might also know.

I bought a riggers belt(Blackhawk) a while ago and saw the retention lanyard on sale for $20 so I figured "why not complete the set?". Question is, can I thread the retention lanyard through the weight supporting D ring like pic related, or will that fuck up the loop and wear it out making it no longer safe to use as a retention line? The suggestion is to put a carabinier between them, but I wouldn't want the carabinier rattling around if I were to ever use the thing.

NOTE: I doubt I'll ever use the thing in a life or death situation, but I figure with me dropping the cash, I should get it set up in a safe practical way.

And the actual loops on the retention lanyard. I figure I might have to strain the loop to get it to slide through itself to connect it to the d ring.

It should be fine, just inspect it occasionally and don't leave it in the sun.

Why did you buy a rigger's belt? Seems to me that a regular ol' nylon belt would be more appropriate.
I mean, I bought a rigger belt a while ago to live out my autistic Batman fantasies but I assumed I was just sperging - is it normal for people to buy shit like this without having a purpose planned for it?

>Hmmmm, I need a new /out/ belt.
>This one is certified as a life saving harness and costs $35. Also feels comfy, and other than this heavy stitched d-ring, is light.
>This one is just as comfortable, $5 cheaper, but is not rated to support 10x my weight and does not have a hard point to attach a carabinier. It is ALSO $35.

Seriously? You seriously have to ask why someone would opt for a more useful belt for the same price, when fashion isn't a relevant issue?

>$35 for non-rated nylon belt
That's fucking steep for a regular ol' nylon belt.

What your saying makes sense if the alternative was just $5 cheaper but we're talking ~$30 cheaper for a belt OP is unlikely to use as a life safety device.

I could see justifying it if he expects to frequently be high off the ground or in a building several stories high but fuck dude $30 fills my gas tank twice or buys me lunch for a week.

In Canada at Cabela's, the Blackhawk belt goes on sale for around $30. The cheapest pos nylon belt will still be around $12. Bison last ditch belt(which copies the riggers belt style, tho it's not rated for any climbing) is $25.

I own a few nylon belts. One is the Blackhawk riggers belt, one 5.11 one, and a few chink knockoffs of regular military ones. Blackhawk was easily the best value in the end for an /out/ belt. I like the bison for regular wear tho. Pic related.

There's your problem. Stop buying from an overpriced dealer.

Are you in Canada? There's maybe half a dozen places that sell /out/ stuff. MEC is probably the best overall but they mostly have ultra lite stuff. For military like crap, it's pretty much just Cabela's and Canadian tire.

Are you online? Amazon ships to Canada via Borderlinx. How much would shipping cost you?

$35 is not expensive for something you use every single damn day. People spend that on a meal or an experience. That belt is going to last years and years.

>>1092092
I'm sorry, I just can't see the need for spending $35 on a nylon belt. I certainly regret buying mine since I never became Batman.

I paid an abuelito $30 to put a bunch of sick engravings on my harness tack leather belt.
