It sounds like the defect is that the buckles can loosen up to easily. The unfortunate thing is that they need your old harness back before they will send a new one, which will take about 3 - 4 weeks. I guess I woont be sending mine back until after november! I will just have to make sure that the buckles dont loosen up in the meanwhile!
