Description
Engineered in Austria for high-stress tactical, industrial, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) applications, the AustriAlpin COBRA® PRO STYLE 18 kN 38 mm (Model FX38KVF) is a world-standard aluminum quick-release buckle. Precision CNC-machined from high-strength 7075 aluminum alloy with solid brass clips and stainless steel components, this buckle delivers a massive direct tensile strength of 18 kN (~3,600 lbs) and 36 kN (~7,200 lbs) in loop configuration. Featuring AustriAlpin's patented dual-clip locking system, it cannot be opened accidentally under tension or by single-side pressure. The PRO STYLE generation includes a wider rear cutout that automatically releases dirt, sand, and ice buildup, ensuring smooth, fail-safe operation even in extreme outdoor or tactical environments.
How To Use
-
Fastening & Release: Push the male component directly into the female housing until it securely snaps into place with an audible click. To disengage, press both brass side clips simultaneously.
-
Webbing Installation: Permanently stitch the 38 mm webbing strap around the fixed loop on the female side. Thread the adjustable webbing end through the friction bar on the male side to set desired belt tension.
-
Maintenance & Inspection: Regularly inspect internal locking channels for sand or debris. Flush with fresh water, dry thoroughly, and verify smooth spring engagement before load-bearing use.
