Hi, I purchased one of these bags several months ago and I love mine. The way the closure works is you roll the top edge down until it meets the buckles by the handle, there are clips on both sides to hold the roll you just made tight. There are also buckles on the ends of the roll and those fasten near the base on each end. The bend in the fabric created by this last step is what seals the water out (I think). I use my bag kayaking to keep my clothes dry and it works great.

The unit buckles two ways, two that cross over with the handle and one that goes from end to end as well. The unit is really dry if you get them tight enough

There are buckles on the two ends that you roll down the top of the bag and buckle into (creates the waterproof seal, which works amazingly well on my boat bag), the D rings at the handles are multipurpose utility spots

If he means the clips that are hooked onto the handle straps, down at the base, we have a shoulder strap attached to two of those. Is there a strap in your contents? If he means the slide-in buckles (like a baby car seat) that are at each end when its all rolled up, those go down to the matching buckles at the very bottom of pack...to hold the upper part down securely. We didn't see those right away, as they were under the base. Hope he's already figured it out, Christy From: Amazon Answers

I am somewhat confused by the question....when you roll the bag down there are two buckles that go across the top of the bag, and then there is a buckle on either side of the bag that snaps down....it looks confusing at first, but package it and roll it down, and you'll understand.....we just used it again on a motorcycle trip this weekend and love it

They do have clips to install them but my husband also drilled them and put stainless steel screws in for added holding! Hope this answers your question! Christina (Cape Coral FL)

No, but they unclip at the bottom and there is a pouch to tuck them in on the back.

No they have two carabiner-like clips that allow for easy detachment. I used these to replace my old bags that were zipper style. The sewing that attached the zipper unraveled and I lost a bag on the highway. For that, I'm glad these are not zipper.

Yes. They are concealed. There are no exposed screws. I have upgraded to these handles in two different houses now and I love them!

I just received these and they had the toggle and no velcro. I thought they were the long ones but are the short ones.

no... the strap across the top is not loose... affixed to the top... rubber. the chrome clasps are hinged... when not in locked position, they hang below the black carrying handles...

Hello, the bands from Black mountain have clips on them and attach to the d-rings on the handles. The guys from Black Mountain are great and will replace broken bands for free for life. I would get the whole set to start with. Thanks

There are two straps for the handle bars that wrap around and buckle and a third strap that wraps around the neck with velcro. I wish they were all velcro. I have found I prefer to strap the bag on facing me rather that facing out like a basket. It seems to balance better and not tip. It's just what I wanted and works great.

No, they rest on the padded bracket and a buckle is snapped through the grooves on the car seat. It was very safe, and sturdy and very handy when they were little. We used it for a few months.

It comes with two stroller clips that clip on where the shoulder strap does, and then buckle over the stroller handle. I just posted pictures of these clips as "customer images." They are simple to use. I know others said you have to buy the stroller clips separately and that's what I thought too, but mine came with the bag, they were inside it.

They are sewned on the front and back and strongly supported by the buckles which are attached to the bag itself. Trust me, it is very well made and does not have a cheap look. It is a very nice bag. I love it.

Yes. There are pockets on each side in which you can tuck in handles. They close with Velcro.

The handles are stitched into the top of the bag and do not go all the way down. I find these bags to be really sturdy and reliable.

There are clips ons sewed to the fabric. They work very well and clip on tightly, but they don't hurt or pull :))

No. It's all velcro. I need to redo my rating on this thing. I do schutzhund, and my dog has worn this thing out twice. The lifting handles gave first, and the chest strap second on both of them. I have gone with a custom rig, that had alpine cobra buckles.

Yes they are. I would have liked the handles to be longer, but they are sturdy.
