Bugles for Every Rank, Lieutenant to Chief
Hero's Pride makes fire service collar insignia for each step up the ladder: one bugle for Lieutenant, two parallel or crossed bugles for Captain, three for Assistant Chief, four for Deputy Chief and five for Chief, plus the fire scramble. The metal pairs come in 3/4" and 15/16" heights, in gold plated or nickel plated, and the 15/16" pairs also come in red enamel on gold. Each metal pair has two posts with clutch backs. Prefer cloth? The embroidered 1" circles come in gold on white, navy or red.

Hero's Pride FAQ
-
What is the difference between Hero's Pride AirTek and Ballistic duty gear?
AirTek is Hero's Pride's leather-look line. The outside looks like real leather but has a proprietary scratch-resistant finish, and the high-wear areas and straps have a genuine leather interior. It comes in plain or basket weave with brass, black, nickel or hidden snaps.
Ballistic is the nylon line, made from abrasion-resistant 1680-denier nylon with multi-layer webbing and molded cases for a secure, quiet fit. Many officers pick AirTek for a dress or traditional uniform and Ballistic for active patrol.

What are Hero's Pride Edge, Flex and Ballistic TAC?
They are the lines built to move between a duty belt and a MOLLE vest or plate carrier. Edge and Flex cases are injection-molded polymer. Flex cases use tubular elastic Level 1 retention that adjusts to what you carry, and most Flex cases stack so another Flex case can mount on the front.
Ballistic TAC is molded 1680-denier nylon with DutyLok sticks for MOLLE or a duty belt. Edge cases with a belt slot go on MOLLE with the Belt-to-MOLLE adapter.

How do I size a Hero's Pride duty belt?
Hero's Pride says to size the duty belt to your waist where you actually wear it, over your uniform and inner belt, not by your pants size. It should be snug without digging in. Check the size range on each belt before you order, because the ranges differ from belt to belt.
Most Ballistic belts run Small (24"-26") through 4XL (58"-66"). The AirTek Sam Browne and Garrison belts come in even inch sizes from 26" to 58", plus 62" and 66".
-
What width duty belt do I need?
Most duty belts are 2" or 2.25" wide so they can carry a full load. Belts of 1.5" and 1.75" are common as inner belts or for lighter setups, like the AirTek Garrison belt. Match the belt width to the loops on your cases and holders.

-
Do I need belt keepers with a Hero's Pride duty belt?
Keepers are short straps that tie the duty belt to the trouser or inner belt so it can't slide or rotate. Most officers use four to six. Hero's Pride makes AirTek and Ballistic keepers in several widths, including 2" extra-wide four-snap keepers.
