Sea to Summit 1-Pin Side-Release Field Repair Buckle
The Sea to Summit 1-Pin Side-Release Field Repair Buckle replaces the type of buckle—fixed on one side, adjustable on the other—found on side compression straps and lid pockets of top-loading packs.
- Stainless-steel pin holds the buckle together permanently; a Phillips head screwdriver securely attaches the buckle to the webbing on your pack's strap
- Since the buckle is permanent, there's no need to have your new buckle sewn on when you're back home
- This type of buckle is adjustable on only one side; it is not suitable for waist straps (which are adjustable on both sides)

Broken Buckle - No Problem
During a shakedown hike last week I found that a buckle on my random backpack was broken. It was not a critical buckle, but one that will be needed during my trip next week. With no warranty and no local source for a repair, I went to the new REI in Elk Grove to solicit assistance. I was shown the pack repair section and assisted in selecting a Sea To Summit universal field repair assembly. I returned home with an assembly designed for a 20mm strap. I removed the unbroken part from the pack strap and attached both portions of the replacement buckle in short order. It took more time to undo the stitching on the strap to be threaded through the buckle than it did to attach both repair ends. It works as advertised, and the replacement may very well be more robust than the original.
Saved My Pack
This buckle saved one of my favorite packs! My women's Kelty Redwing 50 had a metal hook attached to the front stuff pocket. It kept slipping out & leaving the pocket open. I love that backpack and was heartbroken when I thought there was nothing I could do to fix it. Then I found this buckle & it worked! No need to cut or sew anything. I just removed the metal hook, attached this buckle to existing straps, and problem was solved. Thank you REI for carrying things like this.
Exactly What I needed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great repair parts and I would say the best I could find to repair my back pack. The advantage to this piece is you can remove the pins to put through a loop. This makes some repairs easier so you don’t have to sew the loops back together. Do your self a favor and measure what size you need I didn’t and had to order both sizes.
Slit too narrow for Trager nylon straps to fit
I wanted to like this product but the space for the hemmed strap is too narrow for the straps on my old Trager bag. Would be better i the description included that dimension and not just the width, which was correct.
Replacement buckle
I bought this buckle to replace the original one that broke on one of my Sea to Summit bags. It is the perfect size and overall worked very well. I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 only because it would have worked better if both ends had a threaded pin to connect the buckle to the end loops on the bag. I ended up sewing the male half of the buckle to the end loop to attach it to the bag, whereas the female end of the buckle attached easily since it had the threaded pin. Would be nice if Sea to Summit made a version with a pin at both ends. Bottom line, it is a good replacement buckle and did work to save my bag.
Bags should be made with buckles like this
I’ve got one of those tool backpacks - it’s loaded, laptop, battery drill, tools for an IT guy… people can’t believe I run around factories doing IT work with it, but I do. Recently I learned I tend to drop it to my elbow on the way to setting it down - learned this because the strap buckle broke… luckily because of backpacking gear I’ve bought, I found this replacement buckle - let me say all bags should be made with these - the metal pin in the most critical position of the buckle, solid! I’m carrying spares of these so I can replace them on other bags as they go. I backpack camp off a motorcycle to give some insight on my experience.
Worked great on my Ortlieb Back Roller
The one-inch buckle replaced the original top buckle on my Ortlieb Back Roller, no problem.
Bulky buckle, but does the repair job
Worked well to repair the buckle on my hat. The slots for the webbing to thread through were more narrow than expected and had to use a hemostat to pull the webbing through the tri bar portion. The screw end fit the fixed end of the webbing well and is sturdy. While the 0.75 size is a bit too bulky for a hat, it does the job.
Add external buckles and straps
Works great - the metal screw pin that allows attachment on the female end is thin enough to install on top of other buckles, allowing additional straps to be added. I used this to add straps to carry my sleeping pad (which is the traditional foam cell type that rolls up and is quite bulky). Unfortunately the buckles do not come with straps (purchase separately), and the Sea to Summit buckles are not completely compatable with other manufacturers buckles (for example, Alpine Lowe uses an "X" shape buckle).
