Which, presumably, are quickconnects _as well as_ quick*dis*connects? >> More than one person has asked this question. I replied privately to a couple. I hope my description is clear. Here it is: A double D-ring fastener consists of two D-rings sewn onto the end of a piece of strap (usually about 1" webbing). The D-rings are placed together over the end of the webbing and the bebbing is folded over and sewn together. To fasten a strap to the D-rings you run the end of the strap through the center of both rings and then over one and under the other. If you want a quick release, you double back through the last ring. In the sixties, scuba harnesses with this type of fastener at the waist and both shoulders were common. You might still find them on some life vests. Safe diving, Dale -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
