What did you have to do to switch out the buckle? Was it an easy swap or did you have to cut the straps that came on it?

Does this go on the strap that comes on the sling or do you have to replace the belt too? I ask because the one in the video looks wider than the one on the treehopper website.COBRA® ProStyle – Dual Adjustable – AustriAlpin
Yeah! I ordered mine 2 days before @Nutterbuster went all fan boi on the Recon and pumped up demand. Winning.
Yes, you can remove the buckle it comes with and add this one easily. If you are not concerned about load rating and just as a position option, you can find plastic buckles for $5 on Amazon that do the same thing.
@Longbowwally - True words! @Nutterbuster is really helpful with gear selection - I think he helps a lot of people decide what to buy and try!
I ordered one to try. I was just about to sell my saddle gear and bam... I felt I owed it to myself to try a 2 panel saddle. Only $150... why not?
Unless you had a special request, you'll probably get a Recon within 1 week if you're in the lower 48 states. He's always shipped my stuff really fast - I don't think it's ever taken more than a week to get it.
The shock cord belt is the way to go. Absolutely no doubt in my mind about that. I've tested every version of belt Mark has tried and shock cord is the best. It's an easy mod that doesn’t require any alterations to the sling. Try it and if you don't like it, then easily go back to the factory belt.
This thread plus all the info of the wraptor just forced my hand. I just ordered the recon! I was going to diy a wraptor but my lack of free time with school and work kinda killed that thought.
I thought he said in the video that he got some extra pieces from Mark to use for the belt, so I was under the impression that you'd need some additional straps as well.
Am I missing something?

Mark's belt comes with two pieces that fit into the rings and has a custom buckle he makes. His buckle is nice as is, but it can be easily removed and replaced with the Austrialpin. I am using a custom bungee cord belt on mine that came with it 2nd hand off the site.
The stock belt is made up of 2 sides...one side is just webbing and the other side has Mark's speed buckle. I believe Nutter has 2 pieces of the webbing side which would accommodate the Austrialpin a little better than just adding the Aust to the stock belt because you will need to cut off the speed buckle. Call Mark and ask if he will sell you a stock belt and also add in another 1/2 belt (the webbing side), then you will be able to choose which you like best. I'm not sure but you may be able to buy an Austrialpin from him...I thought I heard he was thinking about adding them to his offerings?? As always, call Mark and talk to him, he's very accommodating.
