For holding the pack secure and from moving which is better buckle or strap?

If your talking about the type of pack that has a buckle that fits the pack to the rails of the saddle I would only buy a pack that has straps. I have tried the buckle system before and found that there is a lot of knocking and side-to-side movement which can be annoying. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by buckle and strap, it has both. The pack holds very securely to the seat and seatpost. It just bigger than i thought it would be.

The AERO wedge has both. The strap has Velcro which helps fastening the bag to the seat post, while the buckles help fasten it to the seat itself. With adjustments available in terms of length, it can be secured well to prevent it from moving.

I bought the strap one it seems really secure doesn't move much even on a Mtb. Can't say much about the buckle. The nickel does seem like it would be easier to take on and off although the strap only takes seconds to take off

As stated earlier, this pack uses a Velcro strap to attach to the seat post and a buckle that loops through the underside of the seat. After the straps are tightened the Aero pack is quite secure. It definitely won't fall off accidentally. There can be some shifting sideways (less than 3/8") but it's not disruptive at all. What's best for you may depend on how you ride most of the time. If you use your bike to run errands, commute to work, exercise or just for fun this pack should work well. If you are a serious enthusiast (purist) or marathon rider the Aero pack may not be for you due to that added drag or weight. I like mine and find that it's a nice place to put my keys and emergency tools.

My old pack had just velcro fasteners. This one has buckles and holds up to the bumps in the road much better.

The pack has a strap with a buckle and it is adjustable. It secures the pack nicely under the seat. I ride pretty aggressive trails and have not had any issue with the pack coming loose. Simple and well designed product.

I use both. The strap around the seat tube, and the buckles around the seat rails. If you have a tail light on your seat tube, you can put it on the back of the bag. I think it is a great bag!

I wear often with my fstopgear backpacks. I have no problems using my blackrapid strap. I typically where it under my backpack. On some occasions you may need to adjust, meaning a quick slide, not a big deal, to make sure the retention underarm buckle isn't uncomfortable while wearing it under a pack. My blackrapids and fstop bags are like AMEX, I don't leave home without them.

If your pack has molle webbing, you weave it in and out and also in and out of the tools or pouches loops then snap the button and its secure.

They actually go both ways...there are snaps on side and buckles on one side so you can shorten or lengthen with buckles as well as open if you want to actually use the buckles and there are snaps on the other end for easy access :)

It's a s snap buckle and you don't have to take it apart to adjust the straps. It's very easy. Thankfully!!

I've used them for not only my surfboard but my Christmas tree and a bed headboard. They are not only secure , but the elasticity enables you to pull even more tightly than a conventional strap. In addition, you don't have to thread the end through a buckle. Those ends always become frayed.

The top zips closed, so if you zip it and buckle that front buckle, theres no need to worry about it opening while you are carrying it. It opens really easily if you keep it unzipped/unclipped- really quick access.

There are two plastic loops on the back that allow it to be worn on a narrow and thin belt or strap. I keep mine strapped to my pack pack while duck hunting in this fashion and have had no problems with it falling off.

No, it will move around a lot. the pack is designed for back carry, the extra strap is designed so the pack stays on your back and doesn't shift from side to side.

It's to remove the saddlebags from the dog harness. Although the saddlebags are held on the harness with Velcro, the buckle is an additional safety feature.

Both. The strap comes in different sizes. Make sure you order the right one. They are adjustable.

I prefer shoulder strap. You don't have worry about banging into objects if you're not paying attention to where its being held.

The 6 straps are connected only on the top. Each has a buckle that allows the strap to looped around something and pull tight (like rails like on cargo carrier, or fasteners/hooks on the bed of a truck). As long as you're strapping to something beside or lower than the bag, you can cinch it down very tight.

You can adjust the buckles depending on how full the bag is to give more room but it actually snaps shut to hold it closed. The snap is right under the buckle.

There is a loop/handle on it that I attach to my pack with a carabiner. I don't know that I'd try to hang it on my belt, it doesn't have a way to attach to a belt securely. It will flop around.

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 think this is the correct way: The end with the bungee cord and buckle; that strap goes around your foot and the other strap goes around your ankle. You could probably reverse that but I like it this way so the straps come out of the bottom of my feet not the side of my ankle. It is a little uncomfortable if you have to walk on the buckles so I try not to do that. I hope this helps I can always send a picture.
