6-Pack Field Repair Buckle Kit, HD

I bought a half dozen of these field repair buckles to add onto my F1 mainframe. That way I can strap meat and a Vapour bag down at the same time directly to the frame. I was happy to get it in the dry earth colour to match up nicely. They are a little noisy and shiny like most buckle sets. I remedied that with some camo hockey stick tape in just the right spots. Getting the female buckles onto the mainframe loops was a heck of a chore. It took me over an hour to get all 6 attached using needle nose pliers, and it was a miracle that I didn’t slice my hand open doing it. Don’t even think about doing this with cold, wet or arthritic hands in the field. Do it in your living room under good light well before your hunt. Personally, I would prefer to see a double pin buckle set from Eberlestock, but of course, you would need the right screwdriver with you.

Only problem is that the replacements don’t work with the original buckles. I had to modify one of the ends to fit with existing end still on the pace. I just expected them to be the same part.

Perfect for expedited field repair of strap buckle and snap-ends. This kit will also facilitate additional strap points on molle gear. Next step for this kit is to add some tri-glides.

I bought the buckles for my alice bag, best 12$ I've spent on a mod or uografe..

I used these to replace the metal adjusters on the two main straps on my medium ALICE pack. Cut the originals off, and these fit right on.

Work well as designed. Really need the locks on buckle to keep tensioned but that’s the buckle design.

I recently bought the F1 Mainframe and realized it didn’t have the same buckles my F1 Transformer had. These field repair buckles we the answer. Now the Transformer can be connected to the frame if I ever need to when the zippers aren’t practical to use. Perfect! installation took about an hour total to do all 6. its a little tricky but not impossible. check out their instructions on YouTube.

I installed these on an F1 mainframe so I can have a double set of straps. One set to keep meat tight against the frame and the other set to strap a dry bag with gear on the outside. I had to buy a roll of strap on Amazon to complete the setup.

I have recently added the Vapor 5000 to my F1 Mainframe, along with 2 Batwings and a Lid. Seeing as my F1 is an older model the buckles on my new Vapor didn’t marry correctly. The awesome team at Eberlestock knew that this was part of the evolution of the system and came out with a Field Repair Kit. I was able to quickly switch out the old buckles on my F1 and now I am able to run my kit every way it is described on their site. This is the most versatile system I’ve ever used!! I can load it all the way up for extended trips or have it set up as a high speed, low drag kit for scouting missions. I couldn’t be more stoked about it!! Thank you again Eberlestock for making such badass products!!

Very ok, easy fix
