The Finnish-Made Exitus “Lab” Light Assault Belt

Exitus "Lab" – Light Assault Belt

The Exitus Lab (Light Assault Belt) is a lightweight, high-performance, and modern assault belt designed to meet the needs of demanding users. Its construction is based on NIR-treated fabric laminated with laser-cut polymer, providing excellent durability, minimal weight, and low visibility under night vision systems.

The Exitus Lab is the lightest and most unique assault belt in the world, weighing only 129 g without padding – engineered for situations where mobility, ergonomics, and reliability are critical.

Key features:

Ultra-lightweight and low-profile design – the world’s lightest assault belt

90° angled MOLLE slots at the front – optimized for tourniquets, shotgun shell holders, TKP, and OC sprays

Canted MOLLE rows:

On the support side, angled backwards

On the strong side, angled forwards

→ Allows for a natural cross-draw in critical situations

Wide adjustment range – fits waist sizes 85–130 cm, with extension pieces available for larger sizes

Newest Cobra polymer buckle – lightweight, strong, and reliable

Velcro lining for pairing with an inner belt, can be covered with padding if required

Easy to maintain and field-repairable

Exitus Lab is designed for military (MIL), law enforcement (LE), and competitive shooting – offering the lightest and most ergonomically unique belt solution on the market.

Note: Not intended for climbing use.

Background:

The concept of the belt was born from real-life operational experience. When using a single-point sling and catch, access to pistol magazines is often blocked by a slung rifle – especially when wearing body armor. Additionally, up to 30% of the belt’s front space often goes to waste, reducing mobility and ergonomics. To solve this, the front slots are rotated 90°, allowing smooth access to gear even when wearing armor.

Available colors:

M05

Ranger Green

Multicam

Black

Made in Turku, Finland.

With its NIR-treated construction, angled MOLLE rows, and featherweight profile of just 129 grams, the Exitus Lab pushes the limits of what an assault belt can be.
