Are the buckle snaps plastic or rubber coated metal?
324775
The buckle across the waist is a very large plastic one. The ones around the legs are solid metal on the male part and metal with rubber coating on the female half. However, there are two metal rivets coming through the rubber coating that hold the latching mechanism in place. I don't know about all the harnesses out there, but I like the idea of metal buckles around the legs, as they will be taking the brunt of the stress should you fall. Since this was my first harness, I wasn't going to buy the most expensive one out there, so I had already thought about putting some camo fleece tape on the buckles if noise became a problem, but it wasn't.

The waist buckle is plastic. The leg buckles are powder coated metal. Leg buckles are quiet and easy to clip and release. This had been my favorite harness to use thus far.

It looks like plastic over a magnet. It definitely snaps in with a magnetic pull. Hangs beautifully.

The strap is rigid. It is plastic and somewhat bendable but is definitely stiff. I love these things and they are with me where ever I go. You will be glad you bought them.

The snap is made of nylon. I believe it is all nylon, not plastic. I'm not at home to actually see it though. Seems to work well for me.

More of a flexible plastic coating. I use it to lock my helmet on my handlebars. It does the job.

Metal, had mine for years, no sign of wear except the spotsof chrome I chipped off by using pliers to tighten instead of the right wrench

It is made of metal, not plastic. This is a fairly stout lock for its intended purpose. I used the one I bought on my 2007 Ram 1500. Worked great. I would refer this product to anyone.

It's metal, with a rigid, frosted plastic ring around the mirror, which looks pretty sturdy. There's either rubber of plastic around the neck piece, for comfort. I bought this one because the last two plastic ones I had both broke. I'm very satisfied with this one. It's worth the price.

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.

They are metal. My dog shreaded screen and ate the zippers out within one week. Not recommended for a large strong dog or a puppy. Hope this helps.

I believe that they were rubber, but the bolt mechanism rusted through within 6 months so I no longer have it. Not a good product, as far as I'm concerned.

I would have to say teflon coated aluminum. Not certain about the metal but they are not rubber or silicone. Worth the money.

Plastic. The replaceable snap on cover is also plastic I believe, made to look like stainless steel. That being said, I've had mine installed for over two years now I think, and it still looks great.

There is a front snap which is plastic and than that bulky back piece which is a hard rubber

Coated plastic. But the build quality is reasonably good. I have mine for 6 months and it still feels solid. My wife and I have different spray preferences and the switch is holding up well.

Plastic, but if you don't like the band it is replaceable. I ordered this watch for a blind friend who replaced the band with flexible elastic band at W**mart that was more comfortable for him.

The knobs are plastic wing nut type fasteners but the actual screw that it turns and other parts are metal.
