Hi everyone,
Can anybody point me in the direction for where I may be able to buy buckles like this one?
I been searching for weeks and have had no luck.
Thanks
Gareth

Yeah I know you can get them form that website but I need unbranded ones and lots of them.
Thanks for the suggestions though.

It looks similar to the buckles Metolius uses on their crashpads and other gear. Example here
If Alpkit aren't willing to tell you their source, perhaps Metolius might?A random google search using crashpad buckle turned this up:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/477520420/Crash_pad_buckle.htmlNo connections or prior experiences with them myself. Standard cautions apply.
Best of luck with your project!
