[ OVERVIEW ]
Duty Belt Dominance. The Future Is Now.
***IMPORTANT: BUY ONE SIZE LARGER THAN YOUR CASUAL BELT SIZE BECAUSE WE USE TRUE SIZE, NOT VANITY SIZE, FOR ICEVENTS® INNER BELT. MOST MILITARY AGE MALES IN FIGHTING SHAPE WEAR A TRUE SIZE 36, BUT DON'T REALIZE IT. SCROLL DOWN TO BELT SIZE FOR DETAILS.***
ICEVENTS® Inner Belt is a marvel of modern design and engineering. Effortlessly fusing form and function to improve performance and survivability in the field, ICEVENTS® Inner Belt brings our unmatched ICEVENTS® featuring Stimulite® thermoplastic elastomer technology to inner belts in a monolithic structure for the first time. ICEVENTS® Inner Belt provides stand-off ventilation and padding for any hook-lined duty belt. Stand-off ventilation behind your duty belt promotes evaporative cooling (click here to learn more about the different types of cooling/energy transmission) to help reduce sweat build-up and absorption, keeping you drier and more comfortable on the job.
Staying dry is critical to maintaining comfort in any weather. Our close collaboration with Blue Force Gear has allowed us to match the curvature of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt to the Gen 2 CHLK Belt and all-new GRID Belt, ensuring a perfect fit. But that's not all. The ICEVENTS® INNER BELT works with curved and straight outer belts, offering versatility. In fact, during our testing, all beta testers found the curved inner belt shape to be more comfortable than a traditional straight inner belt, providing a reassuring level of comfort in any situation.
The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt can be worn over clothing or inside belt loops. Please click here or see below for pant compatibility. ICEVENTS® are comfortable and grip onto clothing more efficiently than nylon. We designed the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt for knowledgeable armed professionals and enthusiasts who are trained to properly and safely set up a duty belt with keepers. This belt is not intended for beginners or hobbyists.
IMPORTANT NOTES - READ BEFORE PURCHASING
*The hook-receptive loop fabric is designed for ventilation and has a lighter hook/loop adhesion than traditional military-specification Velcro®. It is strong enough to secure the ICEVENTS Inner Belt® to your outer belt for most applications, but for hard duty use or personal preference for maximum adhesion closer to a traditional Velcro® inner belt, we recommend using keepers (snap style or OneWrap® available here). Keepers will provide absolute security while preserving ventilation and load distribution. For these same reasons, it is important to note that ICEVENTS® Inner Belt is a ‘durable consumable’ (think magazines) product and while the honeycomb matrix will likely for decades of hard use, the hook-receptive loop will eventually wear down over time.

[ BELT SIZING ]
Accurately determining your belt size can be challenging, especially when dealing with vanity sizing practices that many big brands use. Instead, we use True Sizing for maximum accuracy, precision, and consistency. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, you can find your proper belt size and ensure a comfortable and capable fit.
Watch our 60-second quick start guide below and read on to determine your true fit belt size:
The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt is available in sizes 32, 34, and 36. This belt comes with added adjustment, which means that the size 36 belt will measure between 34 and 38 inches in length, making it a versatile fit for many waist sizes, clothing types and weather conditions.
To get an accurate belt size:
You will need:
- A length of string or 550 cord sufficient to wrap around your waist.
- A measuring device (tape measure or yardstick).
Instructions:
1. Wrap the string around your waist, starting from one end.
2. Ensure the string overlaps without slack—taut but not overly tight.
3. Measure the length from the string's end to the overlap point with your measuring device to find your true waist size.
4. Use this measurement to select the appropriate ICEVENTS® Inner Belt size. Each size (32, 34, 36) aligns with the middle loop of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt.

|
Increased Load Bearing Capacity |
Loads are absorbed and dispersed evenly throughout the honeycomb matrix of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt. Because the cells are interconnected, when one cell buckles from impact, the walls of the adjacent cells also buckle to absorb the force, similar to a ripple effect. The fusion-bonded honeycomb in Stimulite absorbs shock in this manner and also has phenomenal load-bearing and load-balancing capability as a result of its elastomeric composition. |

[ BENEFITS OF AN INNER DUTY BELT ]
An inner duty belt serves as an inner liner for a law enforcement, military, and co-officer's tactical belt, providing a stable platform for essential gear and attachments. One of the primary benefits of an inner duty belt is its ability to distribute weight evenly around the waist, preventing the outer belt from sagging while keeping equipment securely in place. This helps to maintain a low profile and reduces the risk of gear snagging during quick movements or in close quarters.
The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt elevates the concept of an inner liner belt by incorporating innovative loop material designed for superior ventilation while still ensuring that your gear remains fixed during high-stress situations.
[ WHY CHOOSE ICEVENTS® INNER BELT ]
When choosing an inner belt, selecting one that won’t compromise durability, comfort, or functionality is vital. The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt stands out in the market due to its monolithic structure that integrates our unique ICEVENTS® thermoplastic elastomer technology, providing unmatched ventilation and padding. This not only helps with comfort but also significantly improves your performance by keeping you drier and, therefore, cooler or warmer, depending on the weather conditions.
Additionally, the curved design of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt is not just for aesthetic appeal but is proven to offer a more comfortable fit compared to traditional straight inner belts. Comfort is vitally important for anyone who wears a gun belt or tactical duty belt on a regular basis. Our inner belt has been rigorously tested in the field and has received positive feedback from beta testers, including law enforcement officers and elite military units, for its comfort.
Furthermore, our belt’s compatibility with a wide range of outer belts, including outer duty belts, tactical duty belts, and police duty belts, makes it a versatile choice for any law enforcement officer or tactical professional. Its size availability (in 32, 34, and 36) will ensure that every end user finds their perfect fit.
Choosing the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt means investing in a product that brings innovation to your waist. It’s not just an inner belt; it’s a commitment to your duty, comfort, and the longevity of the equipment you rely on daily.
[ FAQ ]
Will this work with my current gun belt?
Blue Force Gear, AWS, Lead Devil, Ferro Concepts, whatever your range/duty/gun belt of choice is, as long as it is hook fabric lined, it will work with ICEVENTS® Inner Belt.
Will the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt work with a contoured outer belt?
Yes. We worked closely with our friends at Blue Force Gear to match the curvature of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt to the Gen 1 CHLK Belt and all-new GRID Belt.
Will the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt work with a straight outer belt?
Yes. The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt works with both curved and straight outer belts. In fact, during our testing, all beta testers found this curved inner belt shape more comfortable than a traditional straight inner belt.
How much adjustability do the G-Hook loops give?
The stated size of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt (32, 34, 36) is from the middle G-Hook loop. The sizing adjustability range is two sizes up and two sizes down from the list size.
How does the closure mechanism work?
Working closely with our friends at Blue Force Gear, we have made the closure mechanism identical to the one found on the stock inner belt that comes with the Gen 1 CHLK and GRID for seamless integration and interoperability. This also results in up to four inches of additional adjustability per size.
Is this a true inner belt or more of a battle belt pad?
The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt was designed to be the future of inner belts. A solution to hot spots and discomfort while wearing a gun belt for long hours on duty or otherwise. To this end, the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt isn't simply a pad as seen on older battle belts, but an evolution past the long unconsidered and uncomfortable stiff nylon belt.
What kind of material is the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt made of?
Our proven ICEVENTS® padding, now as a monolithic belt. ICEVENTS® ultralight ventilated padding features proprietary Stimulate thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). This impact-absorbing honeycomb technology promotes airflow under kit while dispersing load and is trusted by tens of thousands of U.S. and Allied military, law enforcement, security contractors, and prepared citizens. The exterior is covered with OneWrap overlay for adhesion with hook-lined outer belts.
Will this be good for LEO duty style belts that use belt keepers?
Yes. You can run the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt with keepers behind with no issue. The loop on the belt is naturally grippy however, so may not need them if your hook isn't worn out. See image below of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt fitted through Blauer pants with keepers on.
Can the ICEVENTS® INNER BELT be used for CCW?
Theoretically, yes. However, the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt was designed to bear weight and distribute the load of a duty belt (OWB) style set up. If adjusted tightly, it could function as a standalone belt but this use case is untested and not what the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt was designed for.
Will this be coming in a Tan/Coyote color?
ICEVENTS® Inner Belt will only come in black for the foreseeable future. The outer belt will cover the entirety of the inner belt when worn.
We use a custom hook-receptive loop fabric because of the breathability requirements of the ICEVENTS® line. This requires significant scale and is extremely expensive to do here in the US. As a result, we will only produce black unless we get a major enterprise or government contract to produce another color. If uniform regulations are a concern, take solace in the fact that our first run has been entirely unit orders.
Can the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt be worn over outer layers?
Yes. The ICEVENTS® Inner Belt can be worn over clothing in addition to inside of belt loops. ICEVENTS® grip onto clothing more efficiently than nylon while also providing stand-off ventilation and padding.
Will there be a hook version for loop lined belts?
There are no current plans for a hook-lined version because there are so few loop-lined belts on the market compared to hook-lined belts.
Could you custom make ICEVENTS® Inner Belt to fit my uniform/other requirements?
Details on custom projects can be found on our INSIGHTS blog, via 'Does Qore Performance build custom product solutions?'.
Does the ICEVENTS® INNER BELT have any stretch to it? I find belts that do more comfortable.
We agree! Yes, ICEVENTS® do have some stretch to them. We have posted a video from our chief beta tester for this project here or under the videos section on this page, which provides even more detail about topics like this. You can also see for yourself below the stretch and malleability of the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt.
I just bought a set of ICEVENTS® for my belt, but I like how the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt looks, what should I do?
The beauty of ICEVENTS® is their versatility! If you pick up the ICEVENTS® Inner Belt, your ICEVENTS® can be repurposed to reduce hot spots and increase comfort and performance elsewhere on your gear! Check out our article 'How do I wear ICEVENTS®?'.
Belt Loop Compatibility
Regardless of who makes your issued or personally purchased duty or range pants, ICEVENTS® Inner Belt has you covered. The belt is quite malleable compared to traditional stiff nylon inner belts and will comfortably fit through most belt loops with little effort. The near universal fit extends to popular denim and skate wear brands allowing you to get the most out of your gun belt, regardless of what you are wearing. It is important to remember that ICEVENTS® Inner Belt intentionally goes "edge to edge" inside of the belt loops for maximum adhesion and ventilation surface area.
