Are the buckles in aluminum or plastic? Specially the main hook closure.

The buckle is metal...not sure what type. I don't think it's aluminum. However if you have your laptop and more than one textbook/notebook, it can become kind of difficult to close. The bag was definitely designed to travel light. Even carrying my laptop charger along makes for a noticeably ugly lump in the side while carrying it :/

They are metal. I don't mind them they are nice. Some reviewers didn't like them. It's a great bag.

The hook is plastic (hard), but the only thing I found annoying was after a couple of months wear, the holding power of hook becomes less effective.

The rings themselves are made of aluminum. the screws are steel. Both were tested with a magnet.

Made of heavy duty plastic attached to metal...inside water system is aluminum. This is my second Ames reel to replace one that lasted 10 years. I love it!

Plastic for all but the water jacket around the front. That part is aluminum.

Metal. Im extremely happy with the quality and they look much better than the original.

The Strap has plastic ends, but not cheap plastic on a swivel so the strap so the strap will not get twisted whenever you pick it up... there is a little piece of metal that just keeps the hooks from unhooking more like a spring loaded paperclip... hope this helps...

The hooks on mine are metal, but this is not the same product I purchased (mine holds up to 40 pairs, loads from the front and the compartments aren't covered with plastic, they are all canvas). So I can't guarantee the hooks on the product pictured will be the same.

The hook are metal. I wouldn't get this hamper. The construction is not the greatest. The screws that hold the frame together loosen and you have to tighten from time to time. I would pay more for sturdier construction.

They have a metal handle with rubber cover/end cap and typical plastic center piece with SS hardware, but very-very well made. I use this one in my kayak, it floats but I nevertheless drilled a hole in the very end to put a permanent lanyard on it lest I lose it like so many things that can fall off a small fishing kayak. I love the thing and thinking about buying a larger one for my flats boat. regards steve

They are working buckles. I just use the center one, so it opens and closes fast enough for a buckle. I'm quite satisfied with the purchase.

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.

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.

Seems like a nylon/poly blend. The bag itself is very strong, the fabric seems to have rip stop qualities. It is the strap, specifically the plastic strap buckles/hooks for the shoulder strap that are weak. I needed to reinforce mine with metal buckles but the bag itself has taken a serious beating since I got it and is still going very strong.

They are clasped onto a plastic "hook" but the hook does not stay attached to the rope very well. I no longer use it.

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.

The hooks on the straps are plastic, but the loops they attach to on the bag are metal.
