What is the Salewa Pedroc Hipbelt?
The Pedroc Hipbelt is built for high-output activities where freedom of movement and minimal weight are essential. Designed for biking and speed hiking, it provides a secure, bounce-free way to carry essentials without the need for a backpack.
Sitting close to the body, the hipbelt keeps weight centred and stable, making it ideal for fast ascents, technical trails, or shorter missions where you want to move light and efficiently. With expandable storage, hydration support, and practical organisation, the Pedroc Hipbelt strikes a balance between minimalism and functionality — perfect for athletes who prefer carrying only what they need.
What is it made of?
The Pedroc Hipbelt is constructed from Ocean recycled ripstop nylon 100D, a lightweight yet durable fabric designed to withstand repeated use in active outdoor environments. By using recycled nylon sourced from ocean-bound waste, Salewa reduces environmental impact while maintaining the strength required for technical mountain use.
Ripstop Construction for Durability
The ripstop weave incorporates a reinforced grid structure that helps prevent small tears or abrasions from forming and spreading. This makes the hipbelt well-suited to rocky trails, dense terrain, and frequent contact with clothing or equipment.
Lightweight Performance
At 100 denier, the fabric keeps overall weight low while still offering solid abrasion resistance. This ensures long-lasting performance without compromising comfort or freedom of movement.
What type of back system is used?
The Dry Back Contact carrying system is designed to keep the hipbelt stable and comfortable during high-intensity activity. A padded back panel improves comfort against the body, while the contact-style design keeps the load close to your centre of gravity, reducing movement and bounce.
This system is ideal for speed-focused activities, providing stability without unnecessary bulk or stiffness.
What are its features?
Stable, Body-Hugging Fit
The Pedroc Hipbelt sits securely around the hips, keeping weight centred and balanced. This design minimises shifting during fast movement, allowing you to hike or ride confidently on uneven terrain.
Storage and Organisation
Internal pockets and an integrated organiser help keep small essentials neatly arranged and easy to find. A dedicated key holder ensures important items stay secure while on the move.
Hydration Ready
Expandable pockets are sized to carry a soft flask, and the hipbelt includes a 500 ml soft flask, giving you immediate access to hydration without stopping.
Trekking Pole Compatibility
Pole fixation cords allow you to securely stow trekking poles when they're not in use — especially useful on mixed terrain where poles are needed intermittently.
Practical External Attachment
A daisy chain provides additional attachment options for small gear, adding versatility without cluttering the design.
