    Abstract: A buckle assembly includes a first plate and a second plate defining a gap therebetween. A button assembly defines a slot aligned with the gap, and is coupled to the first plate and the second plate for movement along a longitudinal axis of the first plate. The button assembly includes a door transversely moveable relative to the longitudinal axis between a closed position covering the slot and a retracted position spaced from the slot. The door includes an angled ledge, that directs fluid through at least one aperture in a sidewall of the button assembly when the door is in the closed position. A block is disposed within the gap. The first plate and the second plate define undulations extending along the longitudinal axis and into the gap.
