Frequently Asked Questions

How do I accurately size the Haley Strategic D3 Belt?

To accurately size the Haley Strategic D3 Belt, measure your waist while wearing your shooting attire using a soft tape or string through your belt loops. Do not use your pant size. Reference this measurement with the updated sizing table provided by Haley Strategic. If you fall between sizes, it's recommended to select the next size up for optimal fit.

What are the inner belt options for the Haley Strategic D3 Belt?

The Haley Strategic D3 Belt offers two inner belt options. The Legacy Inner Belt features a standard hook and loop closure. The newer Pro Inner Belt has an internally padded construction and Haley Strategic's own molded ghook closure, designed for enhanced stability and comfort.

What is the correct way to install and secure the Haley Strategic D3 Belt?

Install the D3 Belt by placing the load-rated buckle at 12:00, adhering the outer belt to the inner belt, and inserting the overlock tab through the laminate sleeve. Ensure the overlock tab is on your strong side with your holster. Engage the Snake Bite anti-slip clamp and Cobra buckle, then pull the webbing towards your support side for a secure fit.

How do I ensure the D3 Belt provides a stable and secure fit?

A stable fit is achieved by accurate sizing, using the correct inner belt, and proper installation. Ensure the inner belt closure is offset from 12:00. When securing the outer belt, place the overlock tab on your strong side with your holster, and pull the webbing firmly towards your support side while engaging the buckle. The Snake Bite clamp also aids in preventing slippage.
