Shoulder straps Fraying at adjustment points Melt loose ends with a lighter
Cummerbund velcro Lint buildup, loss of grip Clean with a velcro comb
MOLLE webbing Cuts or tears Replace damaged section
Buckles (ITW/QASM) Cracks Replace immediately

Battle Belt Maintenance

  • Check inner belt loop for stretching.
  • Inspect buckle for cracks.
  • Re-tighten MOLLE attachments monthly.

    • Pouch Care

    Internal padding Compression, odor Remove and wash separately
    Pouch Type Care Tip
    Open-top magazine pouches Check elastic retention
    Kydex inserts Check for cracks at the retention lip
    Dump pouch Unfold and shake out debris after each game
    Utility pouches Clean zippers with silicone spray

    Storage

  • Hang gear on a sturdy hanger, never folded in a drawer.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight — UV degrades Cordura and elastic.
  • Loosen all straps before storing.
  • Store in a dry place — moisture breeds mold in foam padding.

    • When to Replace

    Replace gear when: MOLLE webbing is cut through more than 30% of the width, buckles no longer hold securely, elastic magazine retention fails, velcro no longer grips. Well-maintained nylon gear from ORTACTICAL lasts 3-5 years of regular play.

    IFAK/Med pouches Restock after each game, check expiry
