The Main Use of Slides & Loops

At present, most straps utilize different kinds of slides as adjusters. Lowy's slides are most commonly used with rifle slings, collars, shoulder straps, belts, etc. as a way of adjusting the length of nylon webbing.

Lowy's loops are usually used as connectors. They are also widely used together with Velcro straps and metal fasteners. We provide a large variety of loops in different sizes ranging from 5/8" to 2". Reducing loops can allow you to go up or down in webbing size. Keepers are designed to hold a second piece of webbing up against the first, instead of letting it hang free. The common belt or strap is a perfect example. They can also be used with camera straps, backpack straps, sling straps, purses, shoulder straps, etc. Tri-loops are most commonly used as a finishing hardware on straps. The main use of them is to separate straps from a single to a double, even more! Tri-loops are also famous for being attached to the end of a strap so it can be hung onto an snap hook, eye hook, spring hook, or any other hardware for hanging.
