How grey is made

A gunmetal-type electroplated finish: a dark grey metallic layer deposited in a bath. No nickel.

What it gives the product

A graphite tone between silver and black: dark hardware that doesn't feel as harsh as matte black.

When to choose it and when not to

Saddlery rings and D-rings for muted colour combinations. The layer is thin, like other electroplated finishes. For extreme abrasion, choose matte black with its thicker coating instead.

How it ages

It gradually dulls; friction points may lighten.

What it pairs with

Grey, olive and black webbing; it also sits well with reflective elements.

  • Look

    Dark / black

    Black or dark graphite surface, matte, glossy or satin depending on the specific finish. Creates a low-contrast combination with dark straps and a clear contrast with pale colours.

  • Abrasion resistance

    Low

    Thin decorative coating that gradually wears through with regular wear and friction. Wear appears first where a buckle or snap contacts the strap, ring or fur.

  • Corrosion protection

    Dry conditions

    Provides a temporary barrier against moisture. Works well in dry environments, but protection weakens over time with regular contact with water or sweat.

  • Nickel

    –

    Nickel release test (abrasion method PN 93 0021, AZL Otrokovice testing laboratory): pass, within the limit of 0.5 µg/cm² per week used by EU regulation. test report (PDF, in Czech)

Damp conditions Occasional rain Tolerates occasional contact with rain, wet grass or damp hands. Regular soaking accelerates visible wear, so dry the surface after it becomes wet.
Aging Wear at contact points At points of regular friction (typically the buckle edge, snap contact point or strap) the finish gradually wears through and the base material shows beneath.
Process Galvanic Metal layer applied by electric current in a bath. An even, thin and well-adhered coating: the most widespread method for surface finishing of metal parts.
