Triglide direction

[Kamaros]

I guess you start to see this when you have a lot of stages ?

I've had this happen a little when carrying hard weights on my right waist strap, retained by a buckle (a configuration dating back to when light canisters were super heavy and ditching your weights meant ditching your light).

The smooth ones with the bent up middle work either way for a d-ring. Where the design contributes to application is when two pieces of webbing are put through it. Like doubling back a piece of webbing to secure the crotch strap, etc...

If stuff is REALLY heavy then maybe. But even just picking up a single tank rig by a shoulder strap can cause a non-toofy triglide to slip.

FWIW I have a few serrated triglides that have, "TOWARDS THE BODY" stamped on the concave side of the middle rung.
