It also goes by the brand name 'Dual Lock'.
It has the advantage of not being 'sided' (there's no hook and loop, it's all the same thing), and it also snaps together, not at all like Velcro's mushy connection. We use it on most of our electrical components. It's expensive, but great stuff.
That said, with the rough terrain you might want some suspenders to go with your belts. |
Nice, we've used this stuff before but our mentor that got it for us left the team a few years back and we never figured out where to get it. Guess I should have figured McMaster would have it.
A word of warning to teams considering it for the first time though: Be careful when using "Industrial strength" variants of dual lock, in our experience, the lock is so strong that the adhesive fails before the lock does. We've actually resorted to using crowbars to remove electrical components that were secured this way in the past.
