Remember that scene in Wizard of Oz where Dorothy walks out and into color?

Pretty much how I felt picking up the first batch of new Multi-Buckles yesterday . Without further adieu: http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-multi-buckle

Compared to the original, the baseline functionality of the new Multi-Buckle hasn't changed. We did put a small hole in the middle that allows you to put string through cordage. This should be a handy way to store your buckles when not in use. Maybe it has some other uses, but that was the only intended use. That being said, the obvious thing we have done is introduce COLOR to hammock hardware. We brought you Baskin Robbins for fabric colors, so only seemed fitting to do it for hardware
Now as most know the standard method of coloring Ti and aluminum is anodizing, but we had another idea. Enter Cerakote - the world's toughest ceramic coating. If you haven't heard of it, it's basically the hardest, toughest ceramic coating you can put on metal. So we're adding color, but also functionality. Compared to standard anodizing, you'll get more abrasion/wear resistance plus no corrosion.
Maybe the best part is that we've worked with a local shop to develop a cost-efficient way to coat in small batches. Our supply chain now consists of an upstart machinist working out of his garage and a Cerakote shop just down the road. This means more colors, more options, and reasonable prices for you. I like it.
To kick things off, we're offering the new Cerakote Multi-Buckle at the original uncoated price of $5 /buckle. I've also setup FREE shipping for these. That price won't last long, so you know the drill. I'm leaving for Ecuador on Sunday night, so I'll probably need to update it before then.
*Note - We do have more colors coming in about 10 days (full list on the product page). I know a lot of people have been patiently waiting for these to come back for a while now, so we busted it to get a couple colors done before I left. My favorite is the Blue Ti btw.
Have a great weekend!
