I know the hardware (plastic - metal not so much) will be the first thing to break. Given that I’ve been using this bag in frequent rotation for about 3 years now, it seems that’s its breaking point. I carry anywhere between five to 20, 25, 30 pounds in it for hours a day. They were quality buckles (National Molding Rock Locksters), but they reached their limit in that time and under those loads.
(Addendum. Since the straps were sewn right into the bag, the only easy fix was to just cut off the remains of the buckle and sew a loop of webbing onto the webbing that was there with a new buckle.)
