Suspenders

I do occasionally. Mostly in the fall because the pants I wear then tend to fall and sag under a pack belt. My shorts and summer pants all have elastic waists, so not as much of an issue. I tried a few different types, but found the First Lite ones the best by far. Super light. Easy ‘biner style clip on and off. Perfect amount of stretch. Inexpensive. Did a quick search on their site and couldn’t find them, but they’re probably buried in there somewhere.

I couldn’t find them either and I know many people spoke highly of them. here are the Sitka suspenders which look easy to use. Do the Fall pants you use have thicker belt loops? This time of year I wear Kuhl Renegade and the belt loops are very thin. Ditto with the Prana Zion.

I use HoldUp suspenders with plastic clips . They weigh 139 grams. I use them primarily with jeans and .haven’t noticed any significant fabric wear.

I made suspenders for my OR Helium rain paints using shock cord. The pants came with loops to accommodate suspenders.

The pants I typically use have thin webbing belt loops. I do worry about strength, but they are well stitched and haven’t failed yet. I have thought about sewing in specific loops for the suspenders, but doing so always falls to the bottom of my project list. It’ll probably take a tear out to get me to do anything about it.
