I am going to write this review orientated towards those that carry a handgun as that is why I bought these.

Caring a full sized handgun in a holster on your hip tends to be source of constant adjustment as the weight of the handgun brings down your pants on one side, even with a proper belt. The solution is a pair of suspenders. I have tried all the common types that have elastic stretching bands on both the front and back. They work but wear out quickly and they also because of the stress need adjusting and with the metal bands on those types of suspenders it can be inconvenient. In addition the way they usually attach is some kind of metal clamp often with teeth, these can be hard on your cloths and uncomfortable for the wearer.

The Outdoor research suspenders have none of these drawbacks. The bands in the front do not stretch, only the single band in the rear. They attach easily to your belt with the Velcro tipped ends. This makes them very easy to adjust on the fly. They hold securely and once properly fit, stay put all day. They seem to be more comfortable than standard suspenders and distribute the weight better. You don't have those annoying metal clips that can sometimes come unfastened when sitting or when you brush up against something. The metal clips of some suspenders can even dig into you in certain positions. The Outdoor Research have no metal clips to worry about. I find the slim profile especially advantageous for wearing under a shirt.

I much prefer these over suspenders with any type of clamp to secure them to your pants. The only disadvantage to these are that you would have to be wearing a belt to use these with pants that have conventional belt loops.
