Sliding buckle

The Sliding Buckle is an essential and dynamic hardware component for customized management of diving harnesses. Unlike traditional fixed weight stoppers, this buckle is designed to smoothly adjust the tension, length, and positioning of the webbing, while ensuring a secure lock once the desired measurement is set.

Made entirely of marine-grade stainless steel, the sliding buckle offers a perfect combination of structural strength and total protection against salt corrosion, making it the ideal accessory for those seeking comfort and modularity in their diving rig.

Key Features and Technical Specifications:

• Marine Grade Stainless Steel: Solid construction in high-strength stainless steel, surface-treated to resist prolonged wear and the corrosive action of seawater.
• Adjustable Sliding System: The internal geometry of the loops allows the webbing to slide smoothly during dry adjustment phases, then securely lock under the structural tension of the worn harness.
• Rounded Anti-Fraying Edges: Every profile and internal slot is carefully smoothed and beveled to eliminate sharp edges, protecting the webbing from abrasions, cuts, or premature wear.
• Standard 50 mm Compatibility: Millimetrically dimensioned to accommodate and slide on classic 50 mm (2-inch) webbing used for technical harnesses, DIR systems, Sidemount, and modular BCDs.
  

Main Fields of Use:

• Shoulder Strap Adjustment (Comfort Systems): Allows for quick adjustment points on the harness shoulder straps, facilitating donning and doffing heavy equipment or when switching from a wet suit to a thick dry suit.
• Waist Strap Management: Used on the waist belt to adjust the closure or to keep excess webbing in the correct and tidy position after tightening the main buckle.
• Positioning of Movable Accessories: Excellent for creating adjustable stop points for accessory pockets, argon tank plates, or weights, allowing for weight distribution to be varied according to the type of dive.

Target Users:

The sliding buckle is a versatile hardware element, indispensable for both technical divers and advanced recreational divers who use backplate and wing systems. It is the preferred choice for those who do not want a completely rigid continuous webbing harness but prefer the flexibility of being able to configure, adapt, and tighten equipment components quickly and precisely before entering the water.
