CMC Rescue Offers New Design of the Only Certified Uniform Rappel Belt Available

CMC Rescue's Cobra-­D Uniform Rappel Belt

Standard uniform wear for firefighters, search and rescue, and SWAT personnel, CMC Rescue’s Cobra‐D Uniform Rappel Belt is the only NFPA‐certified product of its kind. Designed for everyday wear to deliver the performance needed for an emergency rappel or belay, the belt is constructed to the same exacting standards as CMC Rescue’s harness line.

The adjustable belt’s 1¾-­inch web fastens securely without any hook-­and-­loop material. Its AstriAlpin D-­ring COBRA buckle, manufactured from 7075 aluminum alloy, features an integrated stainless steel D-­ring (buckle: 18kN/4,000 lb MBS; D-­ring: 22kN/5,000 lb MBS, straight pull).

The buckle requires a two‐finger release and will not open when loaded. A Web Keeper secures excess material at the tail end of belt. Manufactured at CMC Rescue in Goleta, California, this one-­size-­fits-­most belt is available in Black or Coyote.
