Adjust your HIKERS® Co. Suspenders
Adjust your Suspenders
To adjust rethread the rear hook to a tighter setting.

- 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 the second or third size hole, 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!

Upfitter® Belt Loop Suspenders - Deluxe - Brown
…because you have to wash them from time to time. My first pair is green and this pair is white. Now I have all my bases covered and and don’t have to wear a belt while my suspenders are in the wash. Great product.
They work great. I wasn't sure they would but I'm actually planning on buying another pair.
Well designed, functional, and no skin irritation.
Stay away from a competitor’s version that has clips. The clips break a few days after the return period expires.
I do wish that Hikers had more possible adjustments to the forward strap lengths, but not a deal breaker.
Not only are they extremely functional but they are easy to get in and out of. Like them so much that I had to have another pair. Great product and I highly recommend!!
I literally don’t wanna own another belt in my life!! I freaking love your guys product & I show everyone even if it’s inappropriate😂
Gonna buy more. Great product ❤️❤️
They are the best on the market.
When purchasing my suspenders on 04/30/2026, I was unsure if Hikers Suspenders would work as described. Let me say now that they're everything Hiker Suspenders said they would do. My pants stay up comfortably all day, as well as the suspenders are easy on the body (Soft and not Rubbing Your Skin) when worn beneath the shirt. They also look good when worn outside of your shirt. This company definitely stands behind they're products, for I ordered the wrong size. After notifying Hiker Suspenders of my mistake, they replaced them very quickly and easily. I refer many of my friends to Hiker Suspenders and I stand behind them 100%.
Love the suspenders always great service best place to buy
