I just installed a pair of Tanaka 4 pt in my Zenith CH-650 and like them a lot 
(they have 5 pt also).  They have a camlock design with tang that points down, 
just push sideways to release 3 straps (4th is permanent to buckle).  
Lightweight, got them fast from Amazon.  I see they now have Tanaka with the 
type buckle you want.  Spocoro brand has same type cam lock and is about $40.  
I fly a lot of Young Eagles and the Tanaka's are easy to use, but as with any 4 
or 5 point, take a few seconds to buckle.  I did cut off excess straps and take 
system to a shoe repair to have them sew the ends back neatly.  Then I had them 
take two of the excess straps and sew Velcro on them to use to keep straps 
together for small kids so they don't fall off shoulders.  Can put this in 
front or in back of them.  Very happy with the system.

I've made several flights in the KR with the new JEGS belt and I've decided I'm 
not happy with it.  Too big, too bulky, shoulder straps tend to fall off if not 
tight, and buckle is a bit difficult to open.  So, I'm looking for input on 
where to find a reasonable priced set of  2" 
wide belts, standard lift to open buckle, individual shoulder straps not the Y 
type, both sides of the seat belt adjustable, and reasonable priced (less than 
$150 a set).  I'll award a gold stars to anyone that gives me info that leads 
to a purchase.

Happy holiday to those celebrating..............
