Question about Duraflex stealth pouch buckles

[pascalywood]

Hello. I have been trying to put some buckles on the shoulders of my tac vest but I cant find the way to separate the 2 pieces of the female part of the buckle. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

On the surface piece of the buckle there's three posts underneath that slide into the place (which goes on the other side of the material), two near the 'front' and one at the rear. The two at the front get locked into place by a sort of tab. It's kinda hard to explain but you're gonna need a screwdriver or something skinny to pry the tabs out so the posts can slide out of place.

if you were issued a new vest, they you should have received two new - never been used buckels that are still seperated - front from back....

Ok thanks Ill try that. I was thinking of trying it but those tabs look kind of fragile.

They shouldn't be, you can bend them enough to fit the posts but I wouldn't pry more then that.

The fun part will be jamming the plates underneath the loops on your shoulders

Took 10 minutes to install the buckles and roll everything nicely. Thanks again mate.

why would you roll straps on your field kit?  It makes adjustment 10 times harder, plus even the best french rolls come undone.

I dont like it when my straps arent rolled and hang everywhere. I was thinking, maybe we could start a "Post pictures of your tac vest" thread, as Im curious to see how others set theirs up

It may be a good one to start (except it will definitely turn into a b**** thread)  ;D, I'll have to get a picture of mine when I get back to NB.

Lightfighter: show your fighting loadout

A "show your loadout" thread might be informative. Very different. I think it would be cool to see what different people across the CF can get away with deployed and domestically.

A "show your issued tac vest with aftermarket pouch and extra buckle"  : ugh. Better off over here: Personal addons to the standard issued tac vest

Its basically a show your kit thread.


A show your tac vest thread may be helpful to others, if people tell what they have done, and how it works for them.  Also throwing in aftermarket rigs would also work.
