Buckles explained:
Thread-Thru (TT) - The lightest and due to the flat profile, considered the most comfortable to wear under seat belts. Thread-Thru is an excellent choice if you want to reduce bulk and weight
B-12 Standard Snap/V-Ring (B-12) - B-12 Snaps are more convenient than the TT hardware.
Quick Ejector Snap/V-Ring (QE) - QE Snaps automatically releases or "ejects" the V-Ring when pulling the finger lever outwards. These ejectors are the bulkiest and heaviest but most convenient.
