The PPS is a length of black neoprene which is bonded between two polyester layers. The top layer is made from knitted 100% Polyester, which is coloured either yellow for the standard PPS, or dark green for the tactical version of the PPS. The bottom layer is also 100% polyester but is coloured black for both the standard and the tactical PPS and has a velour finish so is glossy in appearance. The PPS also features two identical 100% nylon belts (blue for the PPS, or black for the tactical version of the PPS), each with a square tab at one end and a triangular anchor at the other. The tab and anchor both feature 100% nylon hook material on the inner surface so allow adherence to the knitted polyester layer on the neoprene.The two identical 100% nylon belts are thread through a 100% nylon tri-glide buckle (black).
