Built for gear that performs under pressure, this 16mm (24 ligne) snap button combines a rugged polymer cap with a solid brass base for a fastener that withstands daily wear and tear. This ITW Nexus GhillieTEX plastic-capped heavy-duty brass snap fastener in Coyote 498 is identifiable by the "GTY" marking on the tag and part number 1444871, consistent with genuine Lowy Enterprises military hardware. Designed to meet stringent defense procurement standards, this medium button is a go-to choice for manufacturers and hobbyists working on tactical packs, pouches, body armor carriers, and heavy-duty apparel. Coyote coloring blends seamlessly into tan, brown, and earth-tone gear builds for a clean, tactical look without sacrificing function.
The matte plastic cap provides IR signal reduction, molded over a solid brass snap component, the same construction that's made this fastener standard issue on US military tactical vests, magazine pouches, body armor flaps, and uniform pocket closures. The cap face measures 16mm, matching standard medium snap sizing used throughout the outdoor and tactical gear industry, and the brass core holds up well against moisture and daily field use. Installation calls for a standard snap-setting die and press, and the button integrates easily into webbing, canvas, nylon, and similar heavy-fabric applications. Each unit ships ready to install, with consistent sizing across the batch for reliable, uniform results on production runs.
Please note: this listing covers the Caps & Sockets component only, as shown in the photos. Studs & Posts are not included. If you're sourcing replacement or repair parts, confirm this is the half of the snap set you need before ordering.
Reach for this button when assembling or repairing tactical pouches, backpack flaps, MOLLE attachments, apparel closures, and other gear that needs a secure, low-profile snap closure. Fit and finish work well for both commercial manufacturing and small-batch or DIY projects. Keep in mind this is a garment- and gear-grade fastener, not rated for climbing, rappelling, or other critical load-bearing or life-safety applications, and it should not exceed 25% of its rated tensile strength in any load-bearing use. Always test fit and function on a sample piece of your material before full production.
