BackUpBrace - Patent Leather
BackUpBrace - Patent Leather
Couldn't load pickup availability

Ceremonial details and dress uniforms already come with enough discomfort. But the officers who wear patent leather gear don't just stand post at funerals and graduations. They work full patrol shifts with the same 20 pounds of equipment cutting into their lower back, eight or twelve hours at a time.
- Matches high-gloss patent leather and clarino-finish gear. Honor guard, ceremonial units, and everyday carry
- Installs in under two minutes. Sits inside your belt, invisible from the outside
- Spreads 20+ pounds of concentrated belt weight across your lower back instead of through a narrow strip
- Costs less than a single chiropractor visit
A narrow belt focuses all that weight into a thin strip (like balancing on a nail). The BackUpBrace distributes it across a wide surface (like sitting in a chair). Less pressure per square inch means less pain, whether you're standing post for a four-hour ceremony or running calls for a full shift.
The finish matches your existing setup. Nothing changes about your belt's appearance or your equipment layout. If your department issues high-gloss gear and your back pays the price every shift, this is a $70 fix that doesn't need supervisor approval and doesn't show above your shirt line.
Full refund within 30 days if it doesn't work. One-year warranty on manufacturing defects. Thousands of officers in five countries already use one.
Designed to match your Patent (Gloss) Leather gear.
Includes two custom belt keepers and Velcro strip for additional security.

Customers are saying
Love the new brace, I have worn a backup brace for over 20 years! Love it.
Thanks Gregory for being one of our original customers!
One of the things that some of the reviews do not mention that I like about the brace is that it prevents things from sliding into your back as well as keeping things nice and snug on the sides. Should have started using this sooner.
Thanks for the feedback Jared, great looking setup!
We have purchased these for testing. We haven't received feedback yet, but I can say that one trooper who was testing the backup brace previously told us how wonderful it was and how it really took the pressure off of his hips. I will submit another review once the other 10 troopers test the product.
Hi Jennifer
Thank you for your valuable feedback - we are very excited to hear the results of your test. Please keep us posted!
Glad I have bought this early in my career!! Talked to many officers they all advised they bought this 10 years ago.
Faizan that is indeed a very wise investment, your back will thank you in 10 years' time!
I have been having back issues off and on for the last several years. Currently I am assigned to the Traffic Division and work 4 10 hour shifts on my police motorcycle. Add in my commute time, and I am on the bike sometimes in excess of 12 hours a day. Same thing on my off days when I am doing escorts as a side job.
From day 1, I felt instant relief. The Backup Brace works as advertised. The weight of all the gear on my duty belt has been more evenly distributed. It too a little bit to get used to it and I had to adjust some of my gear on my belt, but I did not have to eliminate any that I have been accustomed to carrying.
I no longer have the back pain when I get home after a long shift. As stupid as this sounds, I have even contemplated putting my duty belt on around the house if my back starts hurting again. I would definately recommend it to any officer suffering from back pain that had to carry a lot of gear on their duty belt.
Hi John
Thank you for your review. Cannot imagine spending 12 hours on the bike daily! Very glad the BackUpBrace is alleviating that back pain so effectively. Stay safe.
