An articulating buckle including a loop side and a hook side, the loop side configured to pivotably couple with the hook side via insertion of a cylindrical bar of the loop side into a rounded groove of the hook side. Coupling via the cylindrical bar and rounded groove enables the loop side to pivot relative to the hook side while the two sides are engaged. The articulating buckle further includes a first cam latch and a second cam latch, pivotably coupled to a base of the hook side, and configured to releasably secure the cylindrical bar within the rounded groove. The first cam latch includes a first lobe, and the second cam latch includes a second lobe, wherein the first lobe and the second lobe are configured to bias the first cam latch and second cam latch, respectively, towards a locked position, when acted against by the cylindrical bar.
