What is hanging on the wall at Newport Avenue today.

Inside OB Hardware, San Diego
How the range is chosen

A wall built from returns nobody made

Carry gear reveals itself fast: a badly balanced rig comes back, a good one never does. The wall at Newport Avenue is what is left after years of that filtering — belts that sit right when loaded, pouches with a bottom that survives a screwdriver, and hardware that does not chew through webbing. Nothing on it is there because a distributor pushed it.

Fitting out

A belt is a system, not a product

Match the belt, the pouches and the suspension and the load stops hurting.
