Best buckle for diy saddle

[20ftup]

Well unfortunately I ordered all my material before I found out about this “secret saddle”. I ended finding an raptor buckle but it seems like it rattles to much for my liking. I need it to be fairly high load bearing because I’m using it as a riggers belt for Cain method also. Any input from other users?

I put belt loops in mine to accommodate any belt. I plan to use cain method with my riggers belt, but if i use spurs i will use linemans belt. Riggers belt is bigger and bulkier. The cobra rigger buckle is what i have on my belt

The kestrels buckle seems pretty quiet to me once it's connected. Tried it?

I’m not a fan of the buckles on the kestrel, to bulky for my liking. I’m liking the looks of the austrialpin buckle. The female end is made from solid vs. others like the raptor where the female end is made of two thin pieces of metal riveted together causing a more rattle.

Curious what you end up with, don't have a kestrel, but I'm thinking about making a saddle as well!

I just don't get the seatbelt buckles. I want to copy the double through buckle from the BD alpine bod harness for mine but I can't find a source. About to just hack one off as it needs retired soon anyway.

I wonder if something like this might work. Not sure if it's 2 pieces or not, which would be a no go.

I’m going to try the austrialpin cobra. And just add webbing and fold it in thirds to stiffen it up and use that as the d ring part of the riggers belt, less metal.

Agreed, I've been looking for a climbing belt double back buckle.... Nothing

Can’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’m not a fan of Velcro though you could eliminate it if you diy your own.

Yup, if anybody can find a 1" version of these for sale, I'd be happy.

Agreed on the one piece. I have a petzel belt that is two pieces it's quiet when being used but if you put ur harness on in the woods it could make some noise.

Dang, thanks for that link, I'm with you, 1" seems sufficient to me, guess you could just make a bigger belt?

Can't do it, I need perfection! Haha, I might have to buy a harness with the right buckles and cut them off.
