Shiva Plastic Fittings

Usually rectangular with a central bar (looks like a ladder rung)

One-piece, non-releasing (doesn’t open or unclip)

The strap threads through it in a way that locks the tension in place

Backpack shoulder straps

Compression straps

Waist or chest belts

Roll-top bags

Outdoor or military gear

One-piece design: Usually made of plastic or metal.

Toothless grip: Unlike a buckle with teeth, it uses friction to hold the webbing in place.

Simple adjustment: Just pull the loose end of the strap to tighten or loosen.

Used with flat webbing: Often used with 1", 1.5", or 2" webbing.

One-piece construction

Thread the webbing through in a zig-zag pattern—like a ladder (hence the name)

When tension is applied, the friction holds the strap tight

Material: Usually durable plastic (nylon or acetal) – lightweight but tough

Sizes: Usually made for 1" or 1.5" wide straps

Color: Typically black to match bag hardware

Keeps straps low-profile and lightweight

Great for tight spaces or aesthetic designs
