Description

The Original Instructor Belt

The Original Titanium Instructor Belt™ continues the tradition of quality started in 1983 with our introduction of the Original Instructor Belt. Cast in the U.S.A. from aerospace-grade Ti6Al-4V alloy, the Ti buckle is almost 50% lighter than our steel buckle (2-3/8 oz. Ti versus 4-1/8 oz. for the 1½" steel, 4-5/8 oz. for the 1¾" steel), ultra corrosion-resistant for maritime applications and non-magnetic. Make no mistake, our new proprietary 1½" titanium buckle is as functional as it is good looking.

The attractive silvery-gray natural-finish titanium buckle is more than just a pretty face. The TiBelt buckle loses none of the rescue and emergencey securing utility of the conventional steel buckle. The Instructor Belt series was originally designed to clip into a secure system while "instructing" others in high places during mountain rescue training, although they can be used for emergency rappelling with proper training. The Ti buckle follows that tradition. When lab tested to the point of failure, our proprietary titanium buckle withstood more than 5,000 lbs. of static weight.

Although not intended to replace a rappelling harness or to absorb a fall, the 5-stitch Titanium Instructor Belt™ provides peace of mind over the alternative -- no protection at all. We strongly recommend it for anyone involved in law enforcement, special warfare, or rescue operations where there is a risk of falling out of a helicopter. It has been standard operating procedure for years within the Phoenix Special Assignments Unit (SWAT) to clip into a Wilderness Original Instructor Belt™ during airborne or skid-riding ops. It has also been used by many professionals who like the safety of being clipped in when working in cherry pickers (the belt's first "save") or other tall structures.

The Titanium Instructor Belt is available in three colors and comes standard as a 5-stitch
