It depends on what brand you have. Simpson doesnt offer a recert. They give you a discount if you send your old stuff in. Stroud and RCI offer a recert starting at $50.00. You will have to call the manufacturer and get the info.

I have used RJS and M&R. Both will re-web and re-cert their belts for $40-$50. Of the two, the M&R's are much nicer. The camlock is higher quality (would not go back to latch-link again!), they have plating on all their metal parts, where as the RJS's got a little "funk" on them over the years, especially when sitting over the winter.

With some of the "discount" brands, I have seen some of their parts look good and some bad. So it is one of those things where you get what you pay for!

I went with the black polyester (like the nascar and pro NHRA belts, less stretch...), but they basically look like this:

I have the clip-in lap belts and wrap-around shoulders.
