How to Install the Reduced Size Buckle

Posted by Sarah on Apr 18th 2023

The Reduced Size Buckle kit replaces the Fidlock magnetic buckle that comes with your Enigma. The Reduced Size Buckle is smaller, and many users find it more comfortable than the regular buckle, especially if the buckle lands near their hip bone, or if they are carrying extra gear on their Enigma.

Installing the reduced size buckle is easy. You don’t need any extra hardware or parts, aside from the buckle kit and your Enigma. Make sure to follow the correct instructions for your Enigma model, as there are some important differences!
