Tri-glide buckles (also known as triglide slides or Plastic 3-Bar Slides) are plastic-slide buckle-strap adjusters that are ideal for lightweight applications and outdoor uses. Used in conjunction with side release buckles, they allow for a fairly large range of sizes in collars, fanny pack belts and a number of other items. Here at Strapworks, we proudly carry a wide range of tri-glide Plastic 3-Bar Slide buckles to fit strap needs large and small. Most of our sizes available in white as well as black and range from ½ inch to 3 inches. We also carry 1-inch black slides in wide-mouth thin-bar, wide mouth and extra-wide mouth sizes for different strap dimensions. You would use these if you are working with a thicker material or if you are running your material through the strap slides more than once. Learn more about the advantages of choosing plastic for strap hardware below, and order your tri-glide slides here at Strapworks today! The Plastic Advantage When choosing your strap hardware, it's always important to keep material in mind. While metal is commonly used for strap buckles and rings, plastic has a unique set of advantages that make it great choice for certain uses. For instance, plastic is both lighter than metal and rot/rust resistant, which metal is not. This makes plastic strap hardware the superior choice for outdoor applications where weight is at a premium and exposure to the elements is a certainty. Plus, plastic is typically more affordable than metal, making it a great choice for strap buyers on a budget.
