The Mares XR Stainless Steel Metal Buckle is designed to join standard { 2 in | 5.1 cm } nylon webbing together. It serves as an excellent quick release buckle that provides durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Once threaded through the slots on each portion of the buckle, the nylon straps may be easily mated by simply pressing the two sides together or un-clipped by depressing both sides of the buckle levers at the same time. This feature also helps to prevent accidental unbuckling when in use. The levers are designed to be compatible in all environments even with thick dry gloves on. The placement of the levers on the sides of the buckle reduces the probability of them being accidentally lifted by another part of your gear.

The active part of the buckle (the one with the levers) is attached to the strap via threading through and sewing (or with a belt slide if secure enough for your intended use). The passive part is attached via threading through, to make adjustment or the change of the length of the attached strap possible. All edges of the buckles and parts are rounded and polished to avoid any damage to the nylon straps.

The buckle is made from 316 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.

NOTE: The Mares XR SS Metal Buckle is not to be used for climbing, skydiving or in any other way where its use could pose a risk to one’s life. The buckle was designed for attaching straps of diving apparatus and its construction is not suited for static and dynamic strains, which are in climbing or skydiving.
