Problems with the Seek Outside forward pull belt?

[hotdiggity]

Anyone else have any problems with the lower straps on the forward pull belt loosening as you're hiking? I start out with the tag ends for the top and bottom being about even and by the time I get done for the day the low tags are hella long and the upper ones have shortened up quite a bit. I would assume it has to do with the center buckle not being cammed properly or something so that it floats itself loose.

Yes! That 2 strap system is the main reason I dont own one anymore.....packs are great....belt and straps, no so much.

I had nothing but problems with the double buckle belt on my Saker. It’s a shame because I really liked the bag.
Not a fan of gatekeeper buckles with cold wet fingers either.

I’ll never part with my 1st gen Uniweep 4800. The old style single buckle belt works perfectly for me, even with 150 +- lbs of meat in it.
I wish I could find a Merlin with side clip buckles to go with it.

You can thread the webbing through the center buckle so it does not float. It depends on preference .

I'll probably have to do that. Apparently my hips are funny shaped.
