Rothco Combat Suspenders

Needed something for holding up my 1 1/2 inch leather belt with all of my commonly used household maintenance tools for yard work... hand saws, pry bars, baggy of large doggy biscuits, sledge hammers, you know the usually stuff I carry around on my broken back and bad knees. Home ownership nowadays is not what it used to be decades ago!After ~20 years, and always thinking (like a guy) suspenders are not going to help with reducing weight upon the specific location of vertebrae discs, figured I'd finally go ahead and try suspenders, while always knowing from long ago past experience with similar strapping, will only likely cause further back problems. Well, guess I'll find-out within another week or so how well they reduce stress and/or pain.For those without pain/injuries, they fit and help make the pants look more uniform, without having to pull-up your pants all the time from the additional weight placed on trouser pant belts.PROS1) Comfortable wide elastic webbing.2) Seems to fit and work well with my medium body frame size.CONSNot bundled with 2 inch (50mm) Webbing Ending Clip Keepers! If you're not fat or a giant, you're going to have lots of excess left and right side webbing straps! I usually initially use rubber bands for neatly wrapping/folding the webbing, and/or using black tape. Some people will simply cut and sew/mend the straps.

This item is good but expensive

Excellent product, holds duty belt up nicely. Sturdy and comfy!

I purchased this particular system because of its simplicity and the quick disconnect belt loops. No issues there.However, the arm loops cross in the back, and to enable adjustment they aren't fastened. Because of this, if your belt and gear are connected when you put it on everything slides to the side where your arm is not inserted, making it virtually impossible to get the offside arm into the loop.I suppose you could disconnect the suspenders every time you remove the belt, but I wanted a quicker solution. So, I attached Velcro where the straps cross. This prevents the arm hole size change/slippage and still allows for minor adjustment.The other issue is that the suspenders are elastic and there are only two, non-fixed belt attachment points. Therefore, it's hard to get a really tight fit that doesn't prevent the shoulder loops from sliding off the shoulders. Therefore, I may add a strap across the chest in the future. Not an issue, since I'm not concerned about concealment.On the positive side, the suspenders are made of high quality materials, are comfortable and easy to adjust. Given the minor complaints I would probably purchase them again.

Looks like they fixed the issue with getting plain black clip on suspenders - I got the correct product.Now that we're past that issue from other reviews, it has some SERIOUSLY beefy straps. It feels like it'll be really comfortable to wear, based strictly on just trying it on for a few minutes.The quick connect/release clips for the belt loops will be very convenient, & unlike the slip on belt mounted Dickies work ones I got from the store, these won't slip off a belt.We'll see how it does once it gets put to work, & I'll update this on fit, wear, etc. in a few months.Update: These are holding up nicely, tough enough to clip a small karambit to. Strong enough that they've been able to improve my posture & get rid of some back pain. Very happy I got these.
