These 2-inch rigid D-rings are welded to belt slides and remain in a fixed, raised position. They are helpful when used in a position where the diver cannot see the connection, such as far back on the waist belt. Available as a perpendicular rigid D-ring HW1099 (used primarily on the waist belt) or 45-degree bend HW1083 (used primarily on shoulder harnesses). Made of marine grade 316 stainless steel and designed for saltwater use.
