For those 'economically' minded.  I (Jeff Clark) found this belt on Amazon $10.

I have used this belt multiple times and it WORKS as a harness.  Light weight, just add the plastic NSI hook or whichever you chose.  I think the metal roller is probably nickel because I have used this for 3 months and it has some slight scuffing, but no rust.

Can't beat the price.  When I went to Hawaii I brought this harness because it wasn't bulky and easily fits in a bag.

Hey Denton, could you explain how the NSI hook attaches or show us a photo?  The belt material looks too thick to fit through the slot.

I just measured the belt material 7mm thick or slightly more than 1/4 inch.  The SLOT was cut to fit this thickness.

Here is the hook.  It was homemade by Jeff Clark.  I think you could cut up cutting board material.  It's ~ 3/4" wide.

And the waist belt in action.  If you zoom in.

Thanks for the measurement. I have some of that black plastic laying around. I might try to make one.

The Nug looks like it might handle a 7mm strap. That's another option.
