When I was working for Otto Bock A/Asia, I supplied such ski buckles to
my clients. These buckles were part of their prefab TT interim system
for war torn countries - name eludes me at the moment. Try the part nos.

We get them from a local ski shop.


DARCO has a new Body Armor Walker II that has ski boot-type buckles.


We use great buckles that we buy from vertalign. They are very user
friendly, but a bit pricey. $10.00 each. However I feel the cost is
worth it


You can get these from Freedom Fabrication. 800-304-FREE.
