Introducing the Badger Band
 
The Badger Band is a rugged, no-frills solution for wrist-mounting navigation equipment and 18mm or 19mm watches. It’s also compatible with any gear that mounts to a MOLLE system.
 
Built from Berry-compliant, Mil-Spec webbing, stitched with Kevlar thread, and secured with AustriAlpin buckles, the Badger Band is designed to perform in demanding environments.
 
It fits solidly on the wrist or over a wetsuit or clothing, providing a stable platform for your watch or equipment. The MOLLE-style mounting system keeps everything secure, while the AustriAlpin buckles allow for fast, one-handed release when it matters.
 
The bar for “mil-spec” may be low—but the Badger Band clears it with room to spare.
 
It’s not a beauty queen.
 
It’s a Badger Band.
 
The Story
 
In 2008, I was asked to produce 36 quick-release bands for wrist-mounted Garmin GPS units. The order was small, the Kevlar thread was brutal to sew, and my bid was high—just under $300.
 
I won the contract anyway.
 
The feedback was outstanding.
 
The bands were simple, tough, and functional. Lightweight, easy to remove, and built like a tank (a Western one, not Soviet).
 
Years later, I started receiving photos of those same guys wearing our gear off the field—this time with their watches mounted.
 
That’s how the Badger Band was born.
