Hi Cameron, sad story!
I could not relate to your description at first, could not find any plastic clips
execpt for the ones on the belt and shoulder straps (but they look OK).
Then I saw you mentioned the strap-buckle, well I NEVER use that, I
find it more convenient to use it as a back-pack.
I just checked the strap that came with it, and on this one all the clips and
rings are made of solid metal!
Now this packpack is just two months old, maybe they learned from experiences like
yours ...
