D ring

Shaped metal attachment

A D ring is a metal or plastic ring shaped like the letter D, with one flat edge and one curved edge.

The flat side allows it to lie flush when attached to straps, belts, or webbing.

D rings appear on backpacks, dog collars, harnesses, and climbing gear, providing sturdy attachment points for clips, buckles, or tethers: Hook the leash to the D ring on the collar.
