Abstract: A buckle designed to have the dual properties of a belt buckle and a carabiner. The buckle includes a buckle body with first and second buckle body ends and a gap therebetween. A gate extends between the first and second buckle ends, which is pivotally mounted to the first end of the buckle body. The gate is moveable between open and closed positions, such that when the gate is in a closed position it extends between the first and second buckle body ends. The buckle includes a means for holding the gate in a closed position against the second end of the buckle body. The buckle further includes a prong connected to the rear end of the buckle, which extends towards the front end of the buckle.
