Klik Belt Maintenance Tip

To ensure you experience the best possible use of your Klik Belt, we recommend the following maintenance tip.  Place a single drop of light viscosity oil on the male end of your Klik Belt buckle under the curved portion (as show in diagram below).   Typical users will find that this only needs to be done once per year.  However, if you wear your belt in water or harsh conditions, you may need to reapply as needed. Cobra® buckles are proven to be the most reliable, strongest side release buckle in the world.  A single drop of oil is all that is needed to ensure smooth, quick releases for a lifetime of use.
