Just pulled my relatively new S3 pants out of the washer and the buckle was in pieces. Anybody know where to get replacement part? Closest I can find seems to be snowboard toe buckles.

Call RYP I think, as they are the importer for S3 I believe.

Ryan says they don’t have parts.

GasGas  USA was selling all sorts off S/ stuff, I think Stuart at Jack's have bought a lot off it.

I would try to contact s3. Probably some cheap chinese part. They are known as ladder straps.

My Clice and Jitsie pants have the same closure. Looks like a Nifco SLCRF. Now all I have to do is find somebody who stocks them without requiring a 10,000 piece minimum order.

Or keep eating pies until you fill out your pants without the need for a buckle ?

Been there, done that. Can’t go back.

Ah, just looked at the S3 pants and the fastener looks the same but the marking on the back says ITV (or ITW tough to see because it’s stylized) Fastex. Could explain its early death.

Not 100% but might work as an alternate replacement if you can't find something better?

Perfect. That’s exactly what I need! I owe you?.

OK just an update. The FOX buckle didn't pan out but S3 sent some replacement parts to Ryan Young and they're sending me one. Yay!
