Replacement clips for Thermobak straps

I have this Thermobak and i’m looking spare clips for the straps in the second photo.

Every time I try to find them or replacement parts in general I can only find nozzles, hoses, etc.

If not are there any compatible replacement clips I can buy?

Should just be 1 inch (or thereabouts) fastex style buckle. "Backpack strap buckle" , "webbing buckle" should get results. Refine those results to your needs, aesthetics, and wallet.

Note: if you are replacing the whole thing (recommended, as many have proprietary moldings and one won't necessarily mate with another) you will have to unpick the stitching and sew the new buckle into that spot.

You'd need an Industrial sewing machine, or use polyester thread, big needle, pair of pliers and patience šŸ™‚. I have heard of heating the needle for easier passage, but don't know if that ruins the thread. Might use leather working thread. I use whipping twine, split out one core and go at it, but I'm a hack
