    Default D Rings

    Is there such a thing as a plastic D ring that opens and closes for easy placing on and off things?

    Not sure what you mean Tam? the D rings I know are solid, is it a kind or carabiner your looking for?

    Grimlocs are great very strong. What are you trying to do?

    D rings are normally solid. i guess the only way to attach stuff would be to attach crabs to the D ring or half hitch a loop through the ring...

    It was to attach to the webbing on a rucsac shoulder straps.

    Suppose i could just cut the straight bit as i've done before and tape the cut but wondered if there were any that had a way of opening and closing securely.

    Grimlocks are what you want - you don't need to cut the straps
    ...are you sure I only need 1 ?

    Grimlocks are a bit bulky for me.

    I'll go with my old faithful method.

    Thanks guys for the input.

    What a about a D shaped shackle, you could probably get these from a chandler? Alternatively a D shaped gated carabiner?

    Probably not as versatile as you are looking for, though.
