Extension for hip belt (for Bereitschaftsrucksack Manni & Pumba) long

Extension for long hip belt, more room for your duty backpack

Sometimes just a small piece is missing, and with the hip belt you notice it immediately. With the long extension for the padded hip belt of your Manni and Pumba duty backpacks, you get exactly this additional room back. This way the backpack sits again where it belongs: stable on the hips, not halfway on the shoulders and not somewhere in mid-air.

The extension in the long version measures 34 cm and increases the circumference of your hip belt to about 125 to 143 cm. This makes it particularly suitable when you are out and about with thick duty clothing, a winter jacket, protective vest or several layers, and the standard belt simply becomes too tight. The short version with 19 cm is also available; it brings the hip belt to around 110 to 128 cm, for everyone who only needs a bit more room but does not want to max things out right away.

Accessory for hip belt, perfectly matched to Manni and Pumba

This belt extension has been deliberately developed as a special accessory for the hip belt and carrying system of the Manni and Pumba duty backpacks. No tinkering, no improvising with random third-party parts that don’t quite lock in properly. You simply click the extension into the existing belt system and continue to use the hip belt as usual.

Because it is precisely matched to the design of the padded hip belts, the load distribution is maintained. The backpack still sits close to the body, which provides noticeable relief during longer operations, shifts or exercises. Especially when you carry a lot of equipment in your duty backpack, you quickly notice how important a properly adjusted hip belt is. With the long extension you can still optimally adjust the belt even when your clothing or your body shape changes.

Made in GERMANY, robust quality for everyday duty

The belt extension is manufactured Made in GERMANY and is designed for the tough demands of everyday duty. The material is sturdy, abrasion-resistant and insensitive to frequent opening and closing of the buckles. We rely on high-quality components so that the hip belt does not stretch out or fray even after many shifts and trips in the vehicle.

Especially with duty and standby backpacks, reliability is more important than any gimmick. That’s why the workmanship is deliberately straightforward, functional and without unnecessary frills. You get a well-thought-out spare or extension part that simply works, integrates unobtrusively into your existing system and ideally at some point feels so natural that you barely think about it anymore.

Comfort and fit when the hip belt finally sits right

With a correctly adjusted hip belt, a large part of the weight shifts from the shoulders to the hips. That sounds technical, but in everyday life it’s very simple: less pressure on neck and shoulders, less pulling in the back, more freedom of movement. The long belt extension helps you do exactly that, because you can still tighten the backpack sufficiently even with additional clothing or a larger hip circumference.

Whether you are in emergency medical services, disaster relief, the fire brigade, medical services, volunteering, or simply out and about privately with a fully packed Manni or Pumba, the belt extension ensures that you don’t give up on the hip belt just because a few centimetres are missing. Instead, you adapt the belt to yourself, not the other way round. A small accessory that makes a surprisingly big difference in everyday life.

Easy handling and flexible use

Installation is kept simple. You attach the extension to the existing hip belt, set the desired length and you’re ready to go. No tools, no modification of the backpack, no special knowledge. Anyone who has ever adjusted a normal belt can handle it.

Thanks to the large adjustment range of about 125 to 143 cm in the long version, you cover many situations: summer duty in light clothing, winter operations with a thick jacket, exercises with additional protective gear. You don’t have to change the backpack; you simply adapt the hip belt to the situation at hand. This makes your system more flexible overall and saves nerves and time in the long run.

Who is the long belt extension suitable for?

The long extension for the hip belt makes sense if you regularly reach the limits of the standard belt or deliberately want more room at the top end. It is particularly suitable for:

• Operations with thick duty or winter clothing
• Wearers with a larger hip circumference
• Situations in which the backpack is worn over protective vests or additional equipment
• Organisations where the same backpack is used by different people and maximum adjustability is needed

If you are unsure whether the short or long version is better, you can roughly use the circumference values as a guide: The short extension brings the hip belt to about 110 to 128 cm, the long one to about 125 to 143 cm. This allows you to estimate relatively easily which version better suits your needs.

Conclusion: Small extension, big difference

All in all, the long extension for the padded hip belt of the Manni and Pumba duty backpacks is an inconspicuous but very effective accessory. It expands the adjustment range of your hip belt to around 125 to 143 cm, complements the short 19 cm version and ensures that your backpack sits ergonomically correctly even with changing clothing or different wearers.

Robustly manufactured, Made in GERMANY, developed specifically as an accessory for the hip belt and carrying system of Manni and Pumba and designed for everyday duty, it is a practical solution for everyone who doesn’t just want to carry their duty backpack, but really use it.
