Adjust your HIKERS® Co. Suspenders

Adjust your Suspenders

To adjust rethread the rear hook to a tighter setting.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

If your HIKERS® Co. suspenders are too small to adjust into a comfortable fit, log into your account with your order email to start a free size exchange.

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!

Best things evet

I’ve been using these for seems like over 10 years, not sure. I recommend them highly. Nothing comes close to these.

R Vincent
Great!

As always, these suspenders do not disappoint!

Melynda Lewis
Great Product !!

So far when they’re right working they top notch. Super comfortable and barely notice under shirt . My only suggestion would be this on 4xl model , some of us have to use the last notch available I’m 6’4 so there isn’t enough slack to run the single suspender all the way through the top slot on the trick hook like you can with the second and third notch thus it comes off when working a lot . But I superglued it. Problem fixed but it would be nice not to have to do that …

Doren Rakers

No butt or hips. Belts and elastic waste bands won't hold my pants up. these work great and I can hide them under my shirts. Highly recommend.

William Clark
I like the three point connection

I like the three point connection. I no longer have the pressure of a belt around my waist. Time will tell if I need a smaller size.

Keeps pants up

My husband is on his second pair of Hykers. The first ones were the button attached kind the second are the belt loop only attachment. He likes both. I personally like the second pair better because he wears them under his shirt and I think it’s less noticeable with the two straps in the front vs the one strap in the front to the button. We will continue to buy these to keep his pants up.
