    Default Another hipbelt on a vapor trail?

    Hi,
    I have a VT for carrying heavier loads when my GF goes out with me.
    I don’t like the fact the belt doesn’t have hip belt pockets, and I don’t like the GG ones that slide on the hip belt strap because they slide everyewhere.

    Has anyone used a different makers belt with any success?
    ULA circuit or Six moon designs or?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Buy one that looks like what you want and sew it on. . . that's what I did with my campmor xternal frame. . . works great

    What size hip belt do you use? I have an extra large VT hip belt that is brand new and you could sew pockets onto it to see if you liked it. It's your's for shipping plus $20 if you want it.

    I got a ULA hip belt with pockets and put it on my Six Moons Designs Starlite. This was before SMD offered the pockets on their belts. It uses a similar attachment system, so it worked like a charm.

    Not sure how the belt attaches to your VT, so you'd have to try it out and see.

    I ordered a circuit belt, so we will see.

    I found one post by footslogger or somebody and he said he put a p1 belt on his vt,
    but i dont know how close a p1 belt is to a circut belt. Hopefully he sees the thread and posts.

    I have a Vapor Trail AND a belt pocket (right) and it doesn't move a bit.
