The Side Release Field Repair Buckle is an ideal replacement for the buckles threaded on webbing, like those on a backpack hipbelt. Unlike buckles secured by a stainless - steel pin, this is a standard - style buckle. It's perfect for applications where adjustment is needed on both sides. Features include two ladderlock ends for easy webbing adjustment, the ability to replace worn or broken buckles on various equipment, and it's specifically designed for backpack waist belts and strap buckles.

Using this side - release buckle is a breeze. First, unthread the old buckle from your webbing. Then, thread the new buckle through the webbing using the ladderlock ends. You can adjust the length on both sides as needed. When using it on a backpack, make sure it's tightened properly for a secure fit. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a damp cloth every now and then. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could damage it. If you notice any signs of wear, replace it promptly to ensure safety and functionality.
