<div>Hi Jeff,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
I switched to some custom fabricated straps from Strapworks, the squeeze release/slip on buckles we had would constantly break with frequent use. They make custom strap assemblies, I used a Fidlock magnetic release buckle with clip on hooks at the apron end
and have not had any issues in over 5 yrs. We can easily swap out old/torn aprons in a couple of minutes. No changing of clasps, hammering grommets ,etc. Cost in ~2019 was about $15/ strap assembly - very reasonable and well worth it in my opinion.

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Many years back at another university, I created the buckles for our aprons using basic hand tools. I purchased webbing, buckles, and
the tools to put in grommets. Once I created a batch of the needed straps, they could be swapped to new nitrile aprons as they wore out and lasted a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Good morning!<br>
<br>
I am looking to get some new PPE in my facility and I’m trying to locate a supplier with chemical PPE aprons that have snap-clips instead of ‘behind the back’ ties.<o:p></o:p></div>
