Hardware for Backpack and Luggage Makers
Backpack hardware is structural before it is decorative. Everything on a harness is adjusted under load, repeatedly, by someone who is not being careful.
What Goes Wrong
- Fixed tri-glides slip on coated and laminated webbing
- Accessory clips are opened many times a day and wear out before the bag does
- Wide webbing needs hardware that stays square rather than twisting
What This Industry Needs
- Moving bar sliders for webbing that creeps in a fixed adjuster
- Carabiner gates instead of trigger gates on frequently used clips
- One profile produced across four or five widths so a harness reads as a set
Categories That Serve This Industry

Rolling bar adjusters for webbing that will not stay put in a fixed tri-glide

Triangle Buckles
Triangular rings that narrow a wide webbing strap down to one anchor point

Metal-bodied quick release buckles for straps that should not look like plastic
