This now very popularly reproduced design in the custom leather industry was originally invented and built by us a LEATHERHEAD CONCEPTS Inc, back in 2010 when a fellow firefighter asked if We could create something hands free and less bulky to hold his box light vs the shoulder strap. Designed to be carried on your belt, axe belt or scba waist strap for hands free operation and is detachable for use. Comes with metal Seatbelt buckle, rated at 2000lbs. All leather and metal construction, no plastic buckles. Dont Accept Cheap imitations that cost more and are made with plastic. Firefighting is rugged, your gear should be as well!
