Adjust your Suspenders

- With the HIKERS® Co. logo facing you, thread the strap into the first slot from the top, under the first bar, and back up through the second slot.
- Pull it through and thread it back down into the final slot, seating the strap's size hole onto the center post. Give the strap a good tug.
- If you're using a second or third size hole, you can then thread the remainder of the strap up the back of the hook, under the top bar.

FAQ
Common Questions
Are they comfortable?
Absolutely! How often do you loosen your belt or unbutton your pants? Are you eager to get home at night and change into something more comfortable? When you’re wearing HIKERS® Co. suspenders, your pants can be a little looser because tightness is no longer a factor in keeping them from slipping down. See for yourself: just read a few of our verified Customer Reviews and then try a pair for yourself.
Will they give me a wedgie?
Nope, wedgies don't happen when you order them in your size. It takes much less force to pull pants up than to cinch them on. Wedgies don’t happen with HIKERS® Co. suspenders for two reasons: 1. Your stomach stops them from inching up, and 2. all HIKERS® Co. suspenders come in your size and are adjustable, so the upward tug is Goldilocks perfect.
Do I have to disrobe to go to the bathroom?
Heading to the john could not be easier. HIKERS® Co. suspenders stay in place under your shirt so there’s no need to disrobe. Simply unhook and go about your business. About as quick as a belt and much faster than traditional suspenders.
Standing to pee with HIKERS® Co. suspenders is easy. Most guys don't unfasten them. Just unbutton your pants and let HIKERS® hold up your pants while you do your business. When you need to sit, you can leave your shirt on and try a couple of different options:
Unfasten the rear hook only. Your suspenders will slide forward as you sit down. When you stand up, reach up your back to pull the hook down and refasten. If the hook climbs up your back a little bit while you're sitting and becomes hard to reach, you can try a couple of things to slide it back down to where you can grab it. You can push up on the triangular patch in the front of your HIKERS®, or you can grab the straps near your shoulders to slide them back into position so you can easily reach your hook.
Wonʻt they tear my belt loops?
Nope, it doesn't happen. Considering the construction of Upfitter® Suspenders, the stretch of the straps, and the fact that the weight is distributed evenly around your body, it's not a likely issue. Given the average weight of your pants (even loaded with your phone, keys, and wallet), there's less than a pound of force on your rear belt loop (and there's two sewn seams keeping that loop on tight).
More importantly, we tested these for a full year before launching and have now sold over 100,000 pairs. We can confidently say that belt loops aren't failing with HIKERS® Co. Suspenders.
Why not just wear a belt?
If you're asking this question, you probably don't know how hard it is for some of us to keep our pants up. Whether it's noassatall syndrome or a belly pushing down your belt, for some of us belts simply don't work. And don't even get us started on how unhealthy it is to cinch your belt like a tourniquet around your vital organs all day long!

Let customers speak for us
from 5173 reviewsMy butt has been exposed most of my life. Not any more. Thanks to Hikers
I like having my pants in the right place.
This my third pair and so far good! Actually really good. Time will tell how long they last compared to say leather, but hey they are not super expensive.
Upfitter® Belt Loop Suspenders - Navy/Black
Perfect fit, super comfortable, all around excellent product
I just received a backup pair of Hikers have been using them for years I think from the first time I saw them advertised. I will never use a belt again these are a great product. I highly recommend giving them a try!!
Complete game changer! They’re much more comfortable than a belt. Being a bigger guy, and not having a belt to dig in under your belly is great!
the suspenders are working out good for me
These are so much more comfortable than wearing a belt . I'm a customer for life!
They are awesome. I really didn't know they were there and that's with a belt carrying several items. Everything stayed right where I needed it. I fully recommend.
Best suspenders ever
This is my second pair. All good Quilty suspenders with no surprises. My first choice.
Been using Upfitter for a few years now loving them. The Hikers are not a disappointment at all especially when my large man butt goes shirtless or untucked
I was able to buy a replacement hook for the back of the greatest suspenders you’ll ever own. I bought another hiker suspender the next day after my hook broke. Just can’t function with out them.I saved my old ones and lo and behold I ran across a site by accident where I could buy the genuine hikers replacement hooks. Now I have two of them and two extra hooks to boot. Great work Hikers team. Your suspenders are so tough they deserve the availability of replacement parts. 👍
