The best saddle closure device is one that is equally strong on all sides (no weak gate side like a carabiner) and one that cannot come unlocked accidentally. Our choice is the Maillon-Rapide Screw Link by Peguet in France.
This galvanized steel Delta Screw Link comes with every New Tribe Basic, Kids and Tengu saddle, so you won't have to use a carabiner in this critical location. We list this link here so that you can also buy it separately if you wish.
