What is a "toggle"?
A toggle is a type of fastener typically consisting of a cylindrical or rectangular-shaped knob, often made of wood, bone, or plastic, and a loop of cord or rope. The loop is threaded through a hole in the knob and secured in place, creating a simple yet effective fastening mechanism. Toggles are commonly used on clothing such as jackets, coats, and bags, as well as in outdoor gear like tents and backpacks. They offer a secure closure that can be easily opened and closed even with gloves on, making them a popular choice for cold-weather clothing and equipment.
