Hardware Choices

Standard Harness

Quick Ejector

Quick Ejector Snap/V–Ring (QE) – Military Style hardware replaces B–12 snaps. Allows you to lift the gate and eject the hardware instead of reaching under and lifting.

COBRA Buckles

AustriAlpin COBRA™ Quick Release – Light weight, low profile, strong patented AustriAlpin COBRA® quick releases are, without equal, the safest, most finely crafted, and strongest load bearing buckles available anywhere. They are also the only stab–lock style fastener in the safety products market that will not open while under load.
