1. Know the job and regulations governing performance requirements for the equipment needed.
2. Select the belt style. Klein lineman’s body belts are available in a choice of full-floating, semi-floating, and fixed styles, and feature the choice of belt pad size. All Klein lineman’s body belts have chrome-tanned leather cushions for greater comfort. Full-floating belts allow lateral movement of the D-rings during use. Semi-floating and fixed-style belts allow no lateral movement of the D-rings.
3. Select the proper belt size. The comfort of a lineman’s belt depends on the construction of the belt and the location of the D-rings. The D-rings should be located about 1” (25 mm) in front of the hip bones.
Never order Klein lineman’s body belts by waist size. Always order Klein lineman’s body belts by the desired distance between D-rings. The Lineman’s Belt Sizing Table (shown below) contains more information on selecting the proper belt size. Lineman’s Belt Sizing Table*
