Description
The Shadow Guide Padded Hip Belt is an optional padded hip belt that can be used in lieu of the simple 1-1/2" webbing hip belt included with the Shadow Guide 23 or Shadow Guide 33.
Made of .375″ / 10mm EVA closed cell foam with a protective laminated cover of heavy duty nylon/spandex knit, the set of two pads joins front and center with a sturdy, dual adjust side release buckle. The pads are contoured and, when attached to the above mentioned backpacks, form a slight conical shape, encouraging the belt to ride on top of your hip bones.
It connects to the Shadow Guide via Gatekeeper clips. It's available in one size that adjusts to fits hips measuring between 33″ / 84cm and 50″ / 125cm. Want a different size? We’d be glad to see what we can come up with in the factory: emailus@tombihn.com.

I got a new to me Brain Bag, I added the Padded Hip Belt for International Travel.
The belt really transfers the weight well.

I am super happy I decided to get the hip belt, but if I'm in slimmer fitting clothes, the strap is a tad too big for my waist/hips and isn't as secure and loadbearing as I would like it to be. But all in all, it's a great addition to my Shadow Guide 23 for schlepping around heavier loads.

I bought this for my large shadow guide for times that I need to cover a bit of distance while carrying a heavy load. This hip belt does a great job and definitely improves the stability of the bag overall.
