BUCKLE UP
On long-distance trips like thru hikes, your physical weight can change enough to require a smaller belt size to achieve the desired fit. These are the solution. Same pockets and materials as the original belt the Unbound 40 pack is shipped with.

Product Reviews and Questions
A pack saver!
This probably is not your typical response to a rating. A few years ago I had to return my Southwest 4400 for some repairs. I had also been looking for another pack in the 50 l size. Living on the BC West Coast rain and wet conditions is common and I have little faith in rain covers, etc. Thus my best option is something made from Dyneema. As much as I love my 4400 I still prefer a pack with a ‘brain’ and with load lifters. The Prism was too small for my needs.
The pack is pretty good but the removable hip belt it came with is flimsy and causes the pack to under perform on the comfort and load carrying. I was reaching the point of retiring the pack when I saw HMG has replacement hip belts. I ordered one and with a couple minor alterations was able to exchange hip belts.
The hip belt is highly supportive in carrying loads in the 30 lb range. I have not put in more yet but am sure it will do the job. I like the new adjustment system as it provides a more contoured fit over my hips. I am more pear shaped than tube shaped so being able to have the top pull in tighter works better. The holding power of the system is better than a basic straight buckle system which I always find tend to slip during the day. I am slightly concerned about the longevity of the buckle as there is a lot of pressure. However, I put a spare in the pack.
The pockets, like on my 4400, work flawlessly for me.
Thank you for saving my pack and making a difference for the planet. Sure it is small but…
Great belt
I loved this belt from the second I tried it on with my new Unbound pack. So I bought one for my Prism pack.
