    My search attempt netted zero results. I wonder if they are custom jobs; this lady has a room full of catalogs of clips and connectors and could not find them.

    clips

    not that it's much help, but these clips have been used on the Camelbak unBottle. One that I bought a couple of years ago has them. Some pictures now show it with D rings for attachment to packs, the one at the Camelbak site looks like it has still those clips.

    I've checked every source that I know of and I haven't been able to find these clips or anything similar. I know that I can find something that will work. It's the anal retentive side of me wants the stock clips.

    I'm right there with you. It's the principle of it that is driving me nuts.

    Apparently, it's called a "Slik Clip" and is produced by Duraflex. I'm still researching where to actually buy them. I read that Camelbak uses them too.

    Maybe if you ask nice when you explain to the kind people at Camelbak how you lost the clips and would like to have a few to replace them so you can retain the value of your gear with the stock clips. Ya never know, the worst the can say is no.

    I registered on the Duraflex site and looked at their online catalog.

    Drool drool. DIY'ers paradise.

    Tons of clips and stuff for every possible occasion. Now to figure out how to order from them, or how to order through one of those distributors, etc.

    In my attempt to help HC out with getting the Slik Clips, I did the same thing NCP. TONS of cool plastic hardware there for the DIY types.
