Hi Jordan,

I was wondering if you attribute the belt's inner fabric of the belt as having anything to do with the reason it doesn't slide?

https://seekoutside.com/hipbelt/

Mchale was the first designer I recall having used the four point belt adjustment design. It's good to see SO use it too. Those who have used it have raved about comfort and stability.
I am planning to replace my heavy haul packs belts with the same design, but wondering whether or not I'll need need to use the heavy rubberized fabric for the inner belt. Does Seek Outdoors use anything grippy in the belt?

I agree with Jordan. A one piece waist belt is a game changer if you have narrow hips and not a lot of ass to support a lumbar pad. I’ve never tried a SO Revolution but the one piece waist belt looks similar to Mchale Critical Mass system. Thats what I’ve been using for the last 10 years after struggling with packs that use a lumbar pad with side belts.

Do you have a Mchale Critical Mass?
That's a rarity. Can you detail the fabric he uses inside the belt and what makes it the best design in your opinion?
I need one for my old external pack frame.

Thanks,

HC
