Now you know those plastic snap buckles used on everything from camera bags to back packs to ... and which often break and for which one can never buy matching buckles or the one that is sew on and can't be easily replaced?

Well, I came across this "Field Repair Buckle" from Sea to Summit. I first found them on Amazon but then found them locally at Anaconda for less money.

They are available with a single pin or with two pins and are available in widths to suit 15mm to 50mm straps.
