Description
The cinch buckles are the simplest and easiest way to hang your hammock. These timeless devices have proven themselves in all kinds of weather. They are attached to the hammock with an Amsteel continuous loop. A tree strap made from 1″ webbing provides all the adjustment. Just wrap your strap around the tree and fasten with your Dutch Clip. Pull the strap to get the right amount of sag and your done. No back-up knot is needed. It is highly recommended that a Dutch Clip is used with this suspension as with any webbing based suspension.
Dutchware will splice a continuous loop directly on your cinch buckles to provide for the lines of the loop to be at the corners of the cinch buckle lessening the likeliness of the cinch buckle rotating. If you would like a spliced loop in a color other than black please indicate in the message field of your order.

What weight are these buckles rated at?
admin –
They have been tested above one ton and we have tested them to 1500 pounds and they didn’t break. They we designed for parachutes.

Great product, no sharp edges to snag your webbing.
Great product, no sharp edges to snag your webbing. Super easy setup, my 10yo daughter uses them. My wife liked them so much she is switching to them from whoopie slings!

Super light and affordable suspension option, the Cinch bug setup is easier set it and forget it over all, but on a budget don’t hesitate with these.

These are so easy to use!
These are so easy to use! I’m a newcomer to the hammock game so wanted something slightly easier than knots, at least to get started. I attached these to amsteel continuous loops (prusik knot style) and go to the 12′ webbing I currently have as my suspension set up.

Super easy once configured
Super easy once configured. Be sure to get the wraps (Dutch’s photos shows seven wraps) to keep cord from sliding buckle to the diagonal. I really like how quickly these are to adjust and fine tune.

These worked great for me at the beginning.
These worked great for me at the beginning. They are on the heavy side and now that I am better setting up my hammock I use whoopie slings with a MSH tied into my straps.

While a little bit on the heavy side compared to other suspension systems I have used, they make up for it in being the easiest to use.

Combine these with Dutch Clips and you will be the first one to get your hammock set up and relaxing it while others are still adjusting their suspension.

Cinch Buckle
I was looking for an easy and reliable way to hang and the cinch buckle definitely hit every box on my check list. I attached these to my hammocks with Amsteel Blue 1/8 onto 15′ polyester tree straps and I couldn’t be happier. I can make micro-adjustments if necessary and with a quick slippery half-hitch I feel confident that I wont make a sudden trip to the ground over night.

Do these come with straps if you buy the kit? or do straps come separately? Because I have amsteal already on my hammock which I clip a carabiner to my looped straps, but I’m wanting to upgrade to webbing and cinch buckles. If I have to go the whole hog and get the amsteal and buckle to get the straps I’m ok with that. If you have a way to just buy the webbing and buckles minus the amsteal let me know.
Carolyn Palmer –
No it will not automatically come with straps if you get a pair of cinch buckles. You will need to select either the polyester straps or the dyneema/polypro straps which work with any of our buckles.

Ordered 2 of these to go with my 12′ spider poly straps. Weight limit shows 300lbs and I weigh right at 300lbs. Been hanging for a week now no issues at all. No slipping with the spider-poly cinch buckle combo. I use a slippery half hitch just for security purposes. Im glad I upgraded from the daisy chain suspension. If you are on the fence with the 300lbs weight limit of these buckles, worry not my friends! I can attest to the strength of these bad boys. Will update in the future for durability.

How much do the buckles themselves weigh with out loops or straps?

I had mine setup a few weekends ago and they slid. I am 100% sure I did something wrong, I’m guessing the angle was too low ? It was raining and I had adjusted it a bit to attempt to get it out of the rain. Anyway, as I slowly slid to the ground, it shredded the side of one strap. It pulled about 4 inches (length) lose of about 3/32 (width) (w of the strap (thats just loose thread now). Any ideas on if there is a fix to this? Or do I need a new strap?
Thanks, Jake

Hi Jake,
Here is a helpful video for things to consider when setting up your hammock with cinch buckles.

For safety, once a strap has been compromised, the best thing to do is to replace the strap. Feel free to email us at sales@dutchwaregear.com if you need further assistance. – Gwendolyn
