Is this the new version with Metal D-Rings, all metal clips, &amp; zippers?

No it is not! It has plastic or polymer d-rings, clips and zippers. It is very well made though, and honestly I don't know that I would want all metal hardware for the simple fact of rust and or corrosion. I have mine loaded up with gear and its very heavy and I have no worries in regards to the d-rings or such breaking. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't take a d-ring off and use it on a zip line or use a strap and buckle to pull a truck out of a ditch. With that said, I have no reservations that the case will do and perform as it was intended.

I do not know what u refer to as the d-ring, but there are no metal buckles, connectors, or fasteners anywhere on this dog pack; they are all plastic. The only metal part is the zipper runners. I hope this helps u.

no. the picture is of the bumper and a separate item, Smittybilt 76654. the D rings in the photo aren't included either.

No, the new stuff is like a knock off. Much lighter and the quality is not there at all.

Pamela, not it does not have a D ring inside. But I must tell you that this is a very, very nice carrier, well made and comfy for your pet. I used mine several time when flying and it works out wonderfully! It is well worth the price. Zipper top, front, and two sides make it convenient to load and unload your pet without any problem.

As I see it yes. Remember it has a metal "D"ring around the grip. I looked thru the lanyard hole and metal was visiable ...that's what I see !!! I like it ...so far !!!

Yeah but it is the ALL PLASTIC model NOT the ones with a metal clip on the back....

p.s. after reading the other posts, I suspect that this version is the "new, improved" but may now be called "default" That is, they are encased completely in a rubber housing rather than the metal exterior described for the previous battery set.

Mine came with two D rings and an adjustable web strap. The D rings are black anodized steel (attracts a magnet) and are sewn into the holder on opposite sides.

As far as I know it is the newest version. The fit in the grouphead is snug. I use it 3 to 4 times a day.

It was new in 2014. Don't know if anything has changed for 2015. Either way it's a great addition to my bag.

The zippers are not metal but they are large and very durable. I just installed my cover for the third year and have never had any problem with any of the zippers. I recommend this cover to anyone.

I believe (but not 100%) that the new pack has the V-tac branding. At least the newer rush 72 and moab 10 did. The bags have been on sale recently on many sites, and i know 5-11 is releasing new products in February, so I'm sure this is the older style......

I really don't know if is the new model, at least the one I punched doesn't have the purple nipple. However it's a great running belt!

Yes it is. Plus the split in the back for ponytail, and better chin cup. Again, it is not the velcro itself, but the adhesive that holds the velcro strip on the metal. I have repaired both old and new versions, our League has 12 or more, and a couple of Blackout styles.

Brian, correction, it had a new bolt and the clip, sorry about that. Purchased a lot if supplies this year, got a little confused.
