Secure attachment in every situation.
Standard, non-locking buckles, offer a great balance of security and ease of use. But non-locking buckles can allow webbing to slip when those buckles are positioned at odd angles, such as wrapping over a tripod or secured over a bow's riser. A locking buckle is the answer when you want to ensure that your webbing will never lose tension, regardless of the angle or position of the buckle.
Each K4 Pack System comes with one locking Female buckle and one locking Male buckle — allowing you to install the locking buckle in the specific location you may need it, such as the upper side compression strap to secure a tripod.
We do not include locking buckles by default in all locations of our K4 Packs because they can reduce the speed of adjustments, require more dexterity, add weight, and can make noise in some circumstances.
If you would like to replace all of the non-locking buckles on a K4 Pack System with lockers, you would need 7 sets total. One set ships with every pack system, so if you have that set, you would purchase an additional 6 sets.

Buckle is great quality and perfect for holding bow onto back of pack with no slip.
Great quality and always a pleasure to deal with Exo. Thanks for the great locking buckles
Replaced my FHF Pro-M bino harness side male buckles with these male ends. They snapped into the stock FHF female buckles perfectly. The stock FHF buckles are trash. Using EXO male ends still allows the rangefinder pouch to secure through the buckle. Auto locking buckles like marsupials or mystery ranch won’t allow you to secure the range finder pouch through the buckle. These solved my only issue with the harness.
I carry my rifle on the side of my pack. The standard buckles absolutely refuse to stay tight due to the angle created by wrapping over my stock. These immediately made it a non issue. I have complete confidence that my rifle will stay put not matter what.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a set of these locking buckles included with a pack purchase. I’m normally not a fan of locking buckles because the release tabs can get annoying to use, especially with gloves on. The tabs on these buckles are larger than most and very easy to unlock. I ended up ordering a two addition sets because I liked them so much. I used them this year for strapping my bow to my pack and they worked great. I highly recommend switching to these buckles when strapping down gear or equipment to the outside of your pack.
