MELOTOUGHOutback Side Clip Trucker Suspenders/Perry Suspenders with 2inch Width Elastic

Comfortable, and I'm getting a few more.
This is my first time with this kind of suspenders (2-point vs 3- or 4-point), and I'd buy them again. But, I think it would be much better with stainless steel or brass hardware, instead of plastic, for durability and longevity (that is why I gave the 4 stars). I'd pay the extra cost for the upgrade. That said, I've had no problems with the plastic hardware - never broken, never malfunctioned. So, it really deserves 5 stars, but I'd really like the option in hardware.I very much dislike suspenders with 3 and 4 points of attachment. And, I really hate the gator clips. Three- & four-point suspenders are very uncomfortable for me because of tension in all the wrong places. I have a thick/heavy build, and my body tapers a lot from shoulders to feet. Belts have never worked well for me because they don't hold (stay up), which requires me to tighten the belt beyond comfort before it begins to work, but they always work their way down.These 2-point suspenders are extremely comfortable. They are adjustable and elastic, so comfort is practically guaranteed. I always wear a t-shirt under these suspenders. Once you adjust for "clearances in all the right places," the elastic feature makes it really easy to stay comfortable while staying active and working. The attachment points are on the sides, so I haven't experienced any "hot spots" or discomfort. However, I wish I could rotate them a little further to the back because they're sometimes in the way. More of a nuisance, really; not so much of a problem or a deal breaker. The width of the shoulder straps (combined with being elastic) is very comfortable. I dislike narrow straps, so I'm bias towards wider shoulder straps. I haven't experienced any digging, chafing, and/or pinching with these. The muscle that goes over the top of the shoulder, the trapezius, has always caused problems for me with shoulder straps - back packs, ruck packs, LBE, every single collared shirt I own - so I was hesitant to "try another pair of suspenders." But, these fit well over the shoulder and are very comfortable.Over the chest, these might feel a little tight. I had to get used to the way they fit over my chest. I'm not the Hulk by any means, but I was not accustomed to elastic straps over my chest. Now, I don't even notice anything when I wear them. It's off putting the first time, but it's not bad.When I bought these, I did not know that these suspenders must be worn with a belt. That mistake was my own oversight; no one else is too blame for my mistake. So, be sure to have a belt to wear with these suspenders. I bought a $20 knock-off of those high-speed belts with a Cobra buckle that all the tacticool kids are wearing these days. I don't know if I can join their club now, but the belt and suspenders do their job just fine.Something to keep in mind, however, is that these suspenders look a lot like a shoulder harness for a firearm. I do not experience any printing at all when wearing these suspenders, meaning no one ever knows that I'm wearing suspenders when I have a shirt over top of these, but the first time a shoulder strap becomes visible, there will be people around you who will think it's your CCW holster. I had to open my button-down shirt when entering a federal building, and the LEOs got a little jumpy when they saw my shoulder straps. Everything was okay because they saw I was wearing suspenders and not a shoulder harness. So, there's your heads-up about that.I have worn these suspenders under shirts at dinners and BBQs, under a shirt and tie with a suit, and (a second/different pair) while working: around the house, and on the job. I'll never go back to the 3- or 4-point suspenders, and I'm getting a few more of these.

Good Suspenders
Good suspenders. They adjust easy and have good thick elastic straps. It will take some time to see how well the elastic holds up. I love the clips that hook under the belt and it does a good job of holding the pants in position even with bending and sitting. I gave this a 4 rating only because the clips for the belt are plastic. For a few cents more they could be metal, which would make these some GREAT suspenders not just good suspenders.

Suspenders
I like this style better than the old standard version. They keep the pants up and do not slide off the shoulders.

Belt Clips Sewn Backwards
I like these suspenders and have used them for a couple of years. After several time when the suspender clips fell off, it occured to me that the belt clips on mine were sewn backwards. The clips were sewn so that they clip on the to belt from the outside. In reality, the clips should be between the pants waistband and the belt so that it stays in place. I recently had to cut and sew portions of the suspenders so that the clips are facing the right direction.

Love them.
I drive a deliver truck and have to readjusting mu pants. I bought these and have used them for 3 days. They are very comfortable, have wide straps, and easy to use belt clips. Best part is MY PANTS DON'T FALL DOWN!

Truckers suspenders not working well
I've worn suspenders since I was a kid, and since back surgery a few tears ago I switched from traditional to the side clip or "Truckers" suspenders. I bought these that clip on and I hate them, they are always sliding loose and falling off my shoulders, the harder the work and movement the quicker they loosen and slide off my shoulders. They look week built but they just aren't working for me, I've only had them a week and I have ordered a set from another company, going back to clip on and not Perry style.

Better than expected.
I’ve been wearing another very popular brand of suspenders for awhile now and the stitching has busted on two pairs I’ve owned. I bought these knowing nothing about them and was very surprised of the quality of these and for half the price as the name brand. The stitching on these a far superior to the other brand. I highly suggest these.

quality product
I really like these suspenders. I would have given 5 stars were it not for the orange fake leather cross brace on the back. Black belt clips ( yes you do need to wear a belt) and black adjustment buckle are really nice. The cross brace stands out like a nose bandage. For guys with rounder shoulders the straps are excellent I wore them all day and not once did the shoulder strap slide down my shoulder nor did the belt clip pop off like the alligator clips often do I will probably order another pair of these and try to dye the cross patch

Happy with it.
First understand that it is way less expensive than the Australian original, so don't expect that quality. That said, its obviuosly a Chinese knock-off, not as well made as the original. The belting is thinner and the buckles are a thinner/cheaper material. But that does not mean that they are junk, For the price they will serve quite well and I will buy more. Over-all I am pleased with the product.

Great suspenders.
If you carry anything on the side of your belt these are the perfect suspenders. Good quality and durable plastic belt hook.

Clips wrongly installed.
Looks installed wrongly. If the stamped brand name on the leather patch and the triglide buckles are oriented correctly, the Perry clips face inwards.I will have to tape off, then sand off, the corners of the Perry clips as they are quite sharp. As worn, the clips dig into my love handle as the clips face inwards.
