I ordered these suspenders because I needed something that was medium duty and built for tall guys.

When I got them I was happy with the overall quality.  I read the other reviews - both good and bad - and decided to take a chance.  the straps are good quality and there's plenty of adjustment room even after adjusting for my 6'3" height and 340 pounds.  I wore them several times the first week I had them without any issues.

Unfortunately two days ago that changed.  Early morning, dark room, everyone sleeping and PING!  One of the clips went flying across the room, one piece hit the wall, one piece hit the dresser and the last one hit the floor....  Well, at least the family got up early that day!

I was able to find all the pieces and parts and the next day I had time to repair them.  I found that the metal "hinge" piece just needed to be bent in a bit to prevent them for falling apart.  If you choose to buy these you should just look at that part before wearing them to avoid a random failure.  You'll just need a pair of needle nose pliers and a few minutes to save yourself time later.
