The TacKea Hip Belt is a modular load-bearing add-on designed to integrate seamlessly with the TacKea platform, improving weight distribution and stability under load. Built to transfer weight from the shoulders to the hips, it increases comfort during heavier carries while maintaining a low-profile, structured form that won’t collapse under pressure. The construction balances rigidity and flexibility, allowing natural movement without compromising support. A hook-and-loop interface secures the belt within the TacKea frame system, while adjustable webbing and a side-release buckle provide a secure, dialled fit across a wide range of users. Developed and made by Twinneedle in Christchurch, New Zealand, released here in an exclusive Warfighter Athletic colourway.
