Description
Engineered in Austria for military operations, tactical duty belts, riggers belts, and personal protective equipment (PPE), the AustriAlpin D-RING COBRA® PRO STYLE 18 kN 45 mm (Model FX45TVD) is a specialized military-spec hybrid quick-release buckle finished in TAN499 (Desert Tan). Precision CNC-machined from high-strength 7075 aluminum alloy with solid brass locking clips and stainless steel internal springs, this buckle integrates a drop-forged steel D-ring directly into the female buckle body. Designed specifically for 45 mm (1.75") webbing, it delivers a massive direct tensile strength of 18 kN (~3,600 lbs) and up to 36 kN (~7,200 lbs) in loop configuration. Featuring AustriAlpin's patented dual-clip locking mechanism, it cannot be opened accidentally under tension or by single-side pressure, while the PRO STYLE rear cutout automatically rejects sand, dirt, and ice to ensure flawless performance in harsh desert and field conditions.
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 release, press both brass side clips simultaneously.
-
Webbing Threading: Stitch the 45 mm webbing permanently around the fixed loop on the female (D-ring) side. Thread the free end of your webbing through the friction bar on the male side to adjust belt tightness.
-
D-Ring Attachment: Clip certified safety carabiners, fall-arrest hooks, or lanyards directly into the forged steel D-ring for secure tethering.
-
Maintenance & Inspection: Inspect the internal channels and D-ring pivot regularly for dirt or grit. Rinse with fresh water, dry thoroughly, and test spring engagement before load-bearing use.
