Contractors are the forgotten heroes of society. Without them, there are no roads, homes, or electricity. Contractors know all about the frustration of ripped belts and misplaced tools.

Not only is it comfortable and built to last, but it also has customized functionality for specific professions. The back pad is made of sculpted, molded foam inside a micro-weaved Lycra material, which allows for optimal weight distribution. Their tools belts are the most comfortable on the market.
