Phoenix Straps

Phoenix MOD straps
A Special Collaboration
Made by Mike.

As many of you may know, Mike from Phoenix Straps is retiring.
But he’s committed to making this special run, and I’m incredibly excited (and thankful) to be able to bring this collaboration to life.
Since 1978, he’s been making the
best nylon straps on the market.
First supplied to the MOD, every strap has been made
by hand, to exact military specifications, using a 100% UK supply chain.
These aren't mass-produced. They're for those who know the difference. Mike has made it clear, this won’t continue indefinitely.
Limited batch now available.

  • FAQ

    Is Phoenix back?

    Sort of, and only here.
    A few colours are available now, made from authentic UK-milled nylon using traditional methods & these methods take time.

    Mike is retired (kind of) but has agreed to produce limited runs for AKIO. We’ll release more if he’s up for it, but quantities will always be small....
