ALICE Waist belt uk Source

[Tipi]

have recently acquired a Swedish LK50 pack and want to put a waist belt on it. i believe the ALICE one fits fairly well.

Any one know a UK source? Ive found them on eBay but they're all from the US and about £20 P&P which is a bit much.

cheers

If you're not afraid to do a little sewing you can easily add a little webbing to any belt so it will attach to the LK35 - I had a cheap belt from Toolstation and added a piece of 25mm webbing with loops on the end. These I attach to the frame with clips - easy.
Adding a belt makes it comfortable to carry more than 10kg, well worth doing.
Hope this helps
Phil

currently separated from my sewing machine due to work sadly, but think that might be the best option. completely custom!

thanks for the linknitambur, will definitely consider that

If your pack has extra webbing from where the bottom attaches to the frame, you can make a simple mod that allows you to use that as waist belt. I did it on my LK35 and it is super comfy.

(Terrible stitching though!)
