How do the buckles connect? Are they the type you just push one side into the other and it snaps (plastic), like some backpacks? Is it easy on &amp; off?

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.

My issue with this collar is the buckle. The hardware is fair and I just never felt it was as secure as I wanted. I bought it for my White Shepherd puppy and have never used it as she came with a collar with a quick release latch that snaps to close which I feel is more secure. As my pup is a longcoat there is a lot of hair in the way when buckling the collar and the added security of a clicking latch is important. I like this manufacturer, we use their leash but I would not recommend this collar due to the flimsy buckle. I admit I knew this when I bought it but reconsidered when I saw the sturdier quick release latch on the collar pup came with. Hope this helps and all the best to you and your dog.

There is a video on the sunny heatlt web site , its quite simple you unscrew the screws on the bottom a square sllides ot between the to sides you have to unscrew the knob that is used to tighten and pull out another part pulling upwards after all is off you will see there is a plastic buckle with a lever which is what is used to tighten or loosen , careful not to pull upwards to hard the plastic part can crack, its very similar to the ones used on backpacks , any way lift the lever and pull the belt as hard as you can and then lower it so the little belt doesnt slip back . put eberything back together

I remember being puzzled as well because it looks impossible to push the single band through the buckle but it is not. It is easy in fact. I found a video on Youtube. A picture is worth 1000 words and a video even more. A very little mount of force is actually required to push the metal end through the buckle.

I just ordered this bag about a month ago. The strap is about 7 inches long. It wraps around the rear bike rack and then there's a plastic belt-loop type thing the strap goes through on the opposite side of the bag. After going through the plastic loop, the strap folds back and sticks to the Velcro on it's underside. The two straps are about 1 1/2" wide and you can really pull them very tight so the bag is secure. It fits way more securely to my rear bike rack than I thought it would. I was afraid it would jiggle around and come off, but it does not. For the price, it's a great little bag. It isn't real big so be sure to notice the measurements on it.

The snaps are surprisingly rigid. As long as you have them completey closed they will remain closed. I have used this bag for over a year now and have never had any issues.

It has 2 adjustable straps . Kinda like a backpack you wear the wrong way :) wore this when hiking with my little yorkie. He loved it, but we ended up rigging a back strap (tied them together in back) to give me some extra support.

These are snap buckles there are 2 one on each side of the fabric middle part. You do not need to take the cover off to adjust the straps its pretty easy

I just lay it down buckle side down and have the pups step in to the holes. Then pick up the flaps and Velcro them across the back. Finally snap the buckle. Hope this helps!

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.

All the straps click on and off easily. There are two metal circles on either side, above the insulated pockets, that are "supposed" to be the clips for the messger strap and for the stroller clips. The stroller clips are sold seperately for $25 MSRP. I use carabiner clips- one hooked onto each metal circle, then I have those swivel hook things on my stroller to attach them to. A much cheaper solution.

The version I purchased in March of 2015 is adjustable with the included white plastic buckle that came loose in the bag. Place the buckle convex side up on top the upper half of the 2-inch strap. Fold the strap and thread some of the folded strap into the under-side (concave side) and over the center of the buckle, out around the upper outer edge of the buckle (the edge you have near the metal grommet and cinch cord), and then down through the inside again. This allows you to shorten the length of the strap so the bag does not hit you low in the legs and impede walking.

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.

My Topeak Aero Wedge is the one with the buckle straps, and it has held up well. I had the first one for several years with no problems. I replaced it with a new one recently after the first one was stolen.

It's really easy to take off... How it attaches on is a thick rubber strap that quickly attaches and detaches fairly quickly. Don't take me more then a minute to get on or off.

It's difficult to explain the buckles, but the piece on the strap that goes around the tummy side slides thru the piece that is attached to the side of the harness on the back of the dog. It does so in a perpendicular fashion. Once it's thru the larger piece the two pieces flatten out together. The tension on the harness as it goes around the dog holds the buckle shut. It is made of metal and is nothing at all like those plastic things that snap together. There is a buckle on each side so you can unfasten it from either side. You could unfasten both, I suppose, but I just undo one of them and slide the leg out on the other side. Hope that is some help.
