HIKERS® Co. suspenders sizing guide - Measure from the top of the belt loop HIKERS® Co. suspenders hold your pants in place by putting slight tension on your shoulders. It takes much less force to pull pants up than it does to cinch them on. Wedgies are not an issue with any of HIKERS® Co. tried and true designs. Experience the HIKERS® Co. suspenders relaxed sensation akin to wearing overalls.

Adjust for Comfort

HIKERS® Co. suspenders sizing - measure to the center of your button

HIKERS® Co. suspenders are adjustable much like a belt. That is, you start by purchasing the correct length, and adjust within a limited range to accommodate your daily needs, which might be affected by dinner last night or by how much you load up your pockets. For these reasons, HIKERS® Co. suspenders are best fitted so that the largest adjustment is your starting size. There are two notches to size down from there. If you measure between sizes, order the larger size.

How to Measure

For the perfect HIKERS® Co. suspenders fit, simply measure from the top of your rear belt loop, over your shoulder to your button fly. 

What if I Get the Wrong Size

When you first get your HIKERS® Co. suspenders, we encourage you to try them on over your clothes. Adjust the rear strap if you need to tighten them. We recommend starting on the loosest setting (which is the stated size). That way you'll have room to tighten up as needed for varied pant styles and weighted pockets, as well as when and if the elastic straps stretch a bit over time.

Size exchanges are free and easy within 30 days of your purchase. Simply contact support@hikersco.com.

If you immediately tighten your suspenders down to the shortest setting, we recommend exchanging them for 2 sizes smaller than what you currently have. That's because each adjustment on the strap is equivalent to one HIKERS® Co. size. For instance, if you order an XL pair, your suspenders will come adjusted to the stated size (XL), and the strap will have size adjustments for XL - Large - Medium.

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!
