How do the buckles connect? Are they the type you just push one side into the other and it snaps (plastic), like some backpacks? Is it easy on &amp; off?

The one I purchased is Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Harness 3055 Series. The buckles are all steel nesting buckles (slide in to slot and don't snap). No plastic. Easy once you get used to it; our 5 month old Golden just grew into the second size up so we've been pleased with both.

It's difficult to explain the buckles, but the piece on the strap that goes around the tummy side slides thru the piece that is attached to the side of the harness on the back of the dog. It does so in a perpendicular fashion. Once it's thru the larger piece the two pieces flatten out together. The tension on the harness as it goes around the dog holds the buckle shut. It is made of metal and is nothing at all like those plastic things that snap together. There is a buckle on each side so you can unfasten it from either side. You could unfasten both, I suppose, but I just undo one of them and slide the leg out on the other side. Hope that is some help.

You can adjust the buckles depending on how full the bag is to give more room but it actually snaps shut to hold it closed. The snap is right under the buckle.

My issue with this collar is the buckle. The hardware is fair and I just never felt it was as secure as I wanted. I bought it for my White Shepherd puppy and have never used it as she came with a collar with a quick release latch that snaps to close which I feel is more secure. As my pup is a longcoat there is a lot of hair in the way when buckling the collar and the added security of a clicking latch is important. I like this manufacturer, we use their leash but I would not recommend this collar due to the flimsy buckle. I admit I knew this when I bought it but reconsidered when I saw the sturdier quick release latch on the collar pup came with. Hope this helps and all the best to you and your dog.

The strap that goes around the chest has a buckle on both ends. just have the "back" side pre-buckled and then buckle the front side after you put the shoulder pack on. the size does not matter.

These buckles are not like the conventional "snap together" types (plastic). These buckles are metal and you would have to fasten them by passing one end through the 'eye" of the other metal piece. Trust me... this is a very awesome harness. It will take you a few times to get the hang of putting it on and taking it off, but it will become second nature. Get it... you will not be disappointed.

I bought the strap one it seems really secure doesn't move much even on a Mtb. Can't say much about the buckle. The nickel does seem like it would be easier to take on and off although the strap only takes seconds to take off

The strap attaches like buckling a belt. You can remove the strap but you will still have the buckles on each end of the case. I just slide the strap through the triangular space created when the iPad is propped up for use. It is a little cumbersome, but not too bad.

I also wanted to say for the money, I have been extremely happy with this pouch and belt, the belt adjusts and opens large enough for us bigger guys and has two compartments in the pouch area. the snap buckle is very sturdy and secure. But again to answer your question the belt easily removes from the pouch, by simply sliding the belt thru the pouch loop. hope this helps, gary

On the case for this style canteen, we have used our web belts, however we have had a great success to attach the case to our day packs and for our survival packs also. the snaps on our held sure and solid to what ever we attached it to. Try not to place the filled canteen in case on hip areas it gets annoying while climbing or walking (bouncing effect) gets old. (mid back position works great). Hope this helps. (at least a 1 1/2" wide belt)

First, you pull the nylon strap through the plastic piece in an over under type deal. Then you loop it through the buckle piece on the case then you double back the same exact way you came in. If that makes any sense haha. Its tricky and I couldnt get it on my own but I just copied the strap that was on my big boy camera.

I wanted to add to my earlier answer after reading the other answer out there that thought it would be a problem. The buckle is very stout and does not come undone unless the release buttons are both pushed simultaneously. I use this for deer hunting in Wisconsin in the winter, and carry 5-10 lbs in it including ammo, knives, camera, lunch, water, etc. This is the second one of these I've owned and got the second because after 15 years of heavy use, the canvas was starting to rip around one zipper because I stuff too much into it. I can't explain why the other responder indicated the buckle was weak, perhaps they have a different bag?

The version I purchased in March of 2015 is adjustable with the included white plastic buckle that came loose in the bag. Place the buckle convex side up on top the upper half of the 2-inch strap. Fold the strap and thread some of the folded strap into the under-side (concave side) and over the center of the buckle, out around the upper outer edge of the buckle (the edge you have near the metal grommet and cinch cord), and then down through the inside again. This allows you to shorten the length of the strap so the bag does not hit you low in the legs and impede walking.

It's a s snap buckle and you don't have to take it apart to adjust the straps. It's very easy. Thankfully!!

That square of leather goes on both sides of the strap to which the buckle is attached. On the back of that square is a snap. My bag has stitching across the top and bottom and down both sides. I see what you are asking about on the pictures; I had never noticed that BUT the stitching on top and bottom must be there for looks because it does't attach anything - it is just sewn through the leather. The stitches down he sides attach the leather front to the leather back where the snap is located. I hope this helps.

It comes off. You have to pull the straps and bottom buckle out first from the front. Wiggle the flat metal piece from the back through the plastic seat and then through fabric.

There's a chest buckle that just goes right in, but the two side pieces that click into the bottom buckle have to interlock with eachother before they go into the bottom...hope that helps!
