Dog handler belt for tracking and the wilderness: how to choose and use the wilderness belt

If you spend long days out with your dog – tracking, hunting, or hiking – you quickly notice it when the leash is in your hand. A dog handler belt moves the pulling force from your arm to your hips and frees your hands. Here's what to think about when choosing and using Edvardson's wilderness belt.

Why a wide belt?

A regular belt is 3–4 cm wide. When a dog pulls on the leash, the force concentrates on a narrow strip and the belt can dig in. The wilderness belt is 10 cm wide, which spreads the pressure over a larger area and supports your back on long days outdoors.

Choosing the right length

  1. Measure around your waist over the clothes you usually wear outdoors – a thick jacket or vadmal trousers make a difference.
  2. Compare with the size chart on the product page. Because the belt is doubled, you may need a shorter length than your regular belt.
  3. Between two lengths, or not sure? Call or text us on +46 70-315 85 36 and we'll help you choose.

The belt comes in lengths from 70–125 cm in 5 cm steps, in dark brown or black leather.

Attach the leash and your gear

At the front are two strong D-rings where you attach the dog leash or tracking line. The belt also has a narrower belt that can be removed. On it you can carry a knife, bag and other gear, so everything you need is in one place.

Caring for the leather

The wilderness belt is made from vegetable-tanned leather. Treat it regularly with leather conditioner, let it dry naturally if it gets wet, and store it dry and cool. That way it will last many seasons.
