The snap fastener for the outdoors
A sleeping bag has to hold when it matters – in cold, wet, mud and snow. That is exactly what this snap fastener is made for. It is used particularly often in the outdoor sector: it closes securely, opens easily and withstands frequent opening and closing over a long time.
- Holds in cold, wet, mud and snow
- Secure hold, easy to open – even with gloves
- Durable and made to a high quality
- Frequently used in sleeping bags, tents and clothing
Eyelets
Coloured eyelets in military colours
Olive green eyelets
Shiny metal stands out – olive green eyelets don't. They blend inconspicuously into backpacks, bags and carrying systems. Whether as a water drain in the bottom of a bag, for cords or for attachment: the eyelets hold reliably even in wet and dirty conditions.
- Olive green, to match the equipment
- For bags, carrying systems, tents and tarpaulins
- Available in various sizes

- For button plackets, sleeves and pockets
- Easy to use even with gloves
- Holds in cold, wet and dirt
Snap fastener caps
Olive green snap fastener caps – in brass or plastic
On bags, tabs and straps, snap fasteners with an olive green cap provide a firm closure that matches the colour of the equipment and hardly stands out. The caps are available in brass or plastic.

Snap fastener with screw
Screw in instead of riveting
Not every material can be riveted. With the screw-on snap fastener, the lower part is simply screwed in – into sheet metal, thin metal, wood and other rigid materials. On the carrying frame, the snap fasteners sit directly on the metal frame, so the backpack can be attached and removed in just a few steps.
- Can be screwed into sheet metal, thin metal, wood and more
- Attach and release fabric parts quickly
- For carrying frames, vehicles, boats and furniture
Versions
Snap fasteners and rivets in many finishes
Whether antique brass, burnished or antique copper – to match canvas, leather and camouflage fabrics. And with a screw, also for rigid materials.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do the snap fasteners hold in cold and wet conditions?
Yes. Our snap fasteners for outdoor use are made for cold, wet, mud and snow and are frequently used in sleeping bags, tents and clothing.
What colours are the snap fasteners available in?
For outdoor use in olive green. Other finishes are antique brass and burnished. With plastic caps they are available in olive green, camouflage green, sand beige, black and other colours – just ask us.
Which eyelets are suitable for tents and tarpaulins?
For tents and tarpaulins we recommend eyelets with washer or K eyelets, which hold without a washer. Find out more on the Saddlery, leather & tarpaulin goods page.
Which machine is right for me?
For small series we recommend the pneumatic machine T12 – it sets eyelets, snap fasteners and rivets. For snap fasteners in larger quantities the MLP 74 / 96 is suitable, and for eyelets and washers up to 20 mm the fully automatic attaching machine with up to 100 pieces per minute.
How long does delivery take?
Stock items are generally delivered within 1–3 working days.
For special products and custom versions, the delivery time is usually around 2–4 weeks.
Can the snap fasteners be opened with gloves on?
Our snap fasteners for sleeping bags and jackets open quickly even with cold fingers. For use with gloves, we will be happy to advise you on the right size.
Can I order snap fasteners with my own logo?
Yes. We produce snap fasteners, eyelets, rivets and trouser buttons in your colour, printed or embossed with your logo. Find out more under Custom solutions.
How do I attach snap fasteners to a metal frame?
With the snap fastener with screw: instead of being riveted, the lower part is simply screwed in – into sheet metal, fine metal, wood and other solid materials. This way, for example, a backpack can be attached to the carrying frame and released again in a few simple steps.
Find out more under Snap fastener Super with screw.
Are there eyelets in olive green and camouflage colours?
Yes. Our outdoor eyelets with matching washer are available spray-painted in eight muted colours, matt or glossy – including olive (RAL 7013), coyote, sand, forest green and military green. Electroplated, they are also available nickel-free or in stainless steel.
Find out more under Eyelets for outdoor, army and authorities.
Which rivets are suitable for bags and tents?
For heavily loaded areas on bags, straps and tents, rivets in antique copper, for example, are suitable. Double-cap rivets offer a clean look on both sides.
Rivets are available in steel, brass and stainless steel – for outdoor use we will gladly advise you on the right material. Find out more under Rivets.
Can eyelets serve as water drains?
Yes. Eyelets in the bottom of a bag serve as water drains – they are also used for cords and for attachments on backpacks, bags and carrying systems. They hold reliably even in wet and dirty conditions.
