Hold-Up Suspender Co.Hold Up Suspenders for Men - Ski Suspenders 1 1/2" - USA Patented Black Composite Plastic Heavy Duty Gripper Clasps

Update - Feb '18 - My husband was so jealous of my suspenders, that he wanted a pair of his own, so we now have 2 pair of these and are just as happy today as I was when I wrote this review over a year ago!Original Review:These suspenders are now a permanent part of my ski gear!This year is the first year I have skied with ski pants instead of bibs. I spent the whole first trip with the pants pulling them up and adjusting them every time I got off the ski lift, and doing that with bulky gloves is a difficult thing to do! Also during that trip, I took a pretty big fall and ended up with snow up my back and down my pants which had never had happen to me before with the bibs.I came home and decided I was going to just buy a pair of bibs, forget using pants (even though I had paid $170 for them on sale), and for anyone (women especially) that have ever searched for cute ski bibs, there's not a lot of quality options in anything other than black. When I did finally find a pair of bibs, they were $220 and wouldn't have my size in stock until after the ski season was over. I couldn't justify spending $220 on bibs when I had just spent $170 on pants, and they wouldn't have made it to me in time to use until 2018, so $220 for something I can't use for 10 months was a bit excessive!That's when I started searching for suspenders to get me through the rest of this ski season with my pants. I thought about going with the traditional metal clasps b/c that's all I knew existed until I came across these on Amazon. After reading through the description and some of the reviews I figured why not! It would be a heck of a lot cheaper to buy suspenders then to worry about getting bibs or dealing with another trip of constant adjusting (even a belt doesn't totally help).I took these out just a couple of weeks ago for a 2 day ski trip, and I now CANNOT live without them! I'm no longer worried about bibs as these worked perfect! Not once did I feel like my pants were sliding down my waist and they were simple enough to take on and off when I needed to use the restroom, or just take them off in the evening. They held firmly to my gore-tex pants, and didn't slip or damage them. It was such a nice feeling knowing I wouldn't have to spend anytime trying to adjust my pants back up from when I was sitting or when I fell.....and when I fell, there was no snow up my back or down my pants!!They were super easy to adjust and while folks in my group laughed at me at first when I told them I got suspenders, they were all just as impressed as I was with how great they worked! Even during my fall, they never faltered! They now have a permanent spot in my ski bag, and I'm no longer worried about getting bibs!I know this was a long review, but I thought if someone went through a similar situation or loves bibs but can't find any color or pattern in bibs they want, then get pants and get a pair of these!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!

First time I’ve worn suspenders in many years, but here in the South, in the summer, the chaffing of pants against the skin is a factor on the ranch. These somehow allow comfortable pants to stay cool, and comfortable, But even now, as it’s getting colder, “Spenders” are just plain more comfortable than a belt in all ways. These clasps have never slipped off in 15 or 20 days of wearing them so far. Super comfortable on the shoulders, nothing annoying, I forget they are there, no pressure points or discomfort after 12 hours of continuous wearing. . The width and elastic strength are perfect, and show no signs of stretching out. If I were to nitpick, I’d say the shiny gold medal is too Gaudy and old fashioned for me. Id prefer matte black or brown. I can tell I’ll be wearing these for many years. Thanks

I have tried dozens of suspenders at various price points in the last ten years. These are by far the best! They look good, are durable, and comfortable. And most importantly you don't have to keep adjusting them when you walk because the clasps don't slide!I hope they don't stop making them.

These are the best suspenders I've found for holding my pants up the composite clip really holds and dosen't damage the pant material other than stretching. The metal adjusters hold the straps very well and the 1 1/2" gives me plenty of support. Although they're advertised as Ski Ups they work great on pants. I wish they would put the metal buckles on the trucker style suspenders though.

I have used these suspenders many times for skiing now. After having them almost a year, I can attest to their quality. They hold my pants very well and the clip is tight. The elasticity does not loosen over time… At least so far. Is a great quality suspenders. Very comfortable.

Bought some really nice Gore-Tex ski pants and the elastic built-in belt just wouldn’t keep them up during hard days of backcountry skiing. They felt great when I tried them on but just didn’t hold up under serious activity. Rather than invest a lot more money in some bins, I have these a try and they work great! Nonissues at all with the clips coming undone, strap adjustment stays put and they are well made. Would buy again for sure!

I bought these to keep my snow pants up, and I didn't want something with clasps that would tear up the fabric. These suspenders worked great. They're stretchy and comfortable, and half the time I didn't even know I had them on. Not once did they slip off the waistband, and once I figured out how to adjust them it was really easy. In case anyone is worried about length, I'm 5' 1" and while the front straps had no problem shortening up, I think if I was much shorter I would have had an issue with the back of the straps. The intersecting point is fixed and does not move, and was only a few inches below my neck in the back, so for someone really short I think it may have posed a problem not not being adjustable in the back. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

This was a present for my husband birthday and he love it.
