FAQS
Is my bag compatible with a swappable buckle?
You can check two spots to confirm:
First: Does your bag's shoulder strap have a Velcro accessory rail?
Second: Does the Velcro rail open all the way down to the buckle?
If yes to both, you can use a swappable buckle with the correct webbing size. If the Velcro rail is sewn down at the logo (or there is no Velcro rail), it's not compatible. You can use this YouTube video we posted as a visual aid.
Which seatbelt latch and slider hardware is compatible with my bag?
The LG (2") styles are compatible with current Kadet, Kadet Max, Citizen 15L and Citizen 24L.
The MD (1.5") styles are compatible with the current Mini Kadet. MD style buckles can be used on the Barrage 5L (but are different than the stock buckle).
SM buckles are coming in late 2026.
NOTE: All other bags made before 2023 do NOT have compatible straps.
Which size apparel should I order?
Use the SIZE GUIDE on the item's page. Look there for measurements of the garment for the best fit!
You can also hit up Customer Care for size advice or fit information.
Which size shoes should I order?
Shoes are listed in US Men's sizing by default. Our shoes fit long - if you are normally a size 9 using a Brannock Device you'd probably want the 8.5 in our shoes.
We recommend consulting the size guide on each of our footwear styles so that you can confirm your heel-toe measurement and find your best sizing in that particular style! Please note: all of our shoes are slightly narrow, with a width between a C and D.

Does Chrome make SPD shoes?
Our PRO series shoes were SPD/2-bolt cleat compatible. They have been discontinued.
Can Chrome customize, change or add something to a bag?
No - we cannot offer any customized or modified products.
How do I clean my bag?
The official material cleaning instructions for our bags: first treat with a dry solvent followed by a spray cleaner or detergent and water. Avoid chlorine or bleach based cleansers.
WARNING: Our bags are not machine washable - machines may twist and pull in ways that damage the materials.
We recommend using Simple Green (or another solvent) on the heavily affected areas. Then give the bag a warm bath using your regular dishwashing soap. You can use a nylon brush to lift any stains. Scrubbing reflective components will wear down the reflectivity - go gently!
We recommend cleaning any metal parts last to prevent rust. After cleaning a metal seatbelt buckle, lubrication of the inner spring is necessary to maintain function. Add a drop and wipe away any excess.
Once you are done cleaning, leave the bag open with lots of drying time, and if possible pull the liner inside out until dry. Don't use a heat drying method.
