Hold-Ups® Black Snow Ski Suspenders 1 1/2" wide Patented Gripper Clasps X-back

Excellent comfortable durable ski suspenders, used them for my snowpants through out the ski season. No issues discovered after putting them in a washer machine. Highly recommended.

Update - Feb '18 - My husband was so jealous of my suspenders, that he wanted a pair of his own, so we now have 2 pair of these and are just as happy today as I was when I wrote this review over a year ago! Original Review: These suspenders are now a permanent part of my ski gear! This year is the first year I have skied with ski pants instead of bibs. I spent the whole first trip with the pants pulling them up and adjusting them every time I got off the ski lift, and doing that with bulky gloves is a difficult thing to do! Also during that trip, I took a pretty big fall and ended up with snow up my back and down my pants which had never had happen to me before with the bibs. I came home and decided I was going to just buy a pair of bibs, forget using pants (even though I had paid $170 for them on sale), and for anyone (women especially) that have ever searched for cute ski bibs, there's not a lot of quality options in anything other than black. When I did finally find a pair of bibs, they were $220 and wouldn't have my size in stock until after the ski season was over. I couldn't justify spending $220 on bibs when I had just spent $170 on pants, and they wouldn't have made it to me in time to use until 2018, so $220 for something I can't use for 10 months was a bit excessive! That's when I started searching for suspenders to get me through the rest of this ski season with my pants. I thought about going with the traditional metal clasps b/c that's all I knew existed until I came across these on Amazon. After reading through the description and some of the reviews I figured why not! It would be a heck of a lot cheaper to buy suspenders then to worry about getting bibs or dealing with another trip of constant adjusting (even a belt doesn't totally help). I took these out just a couple of weeks ago for a 2 day ski trip, and I now CANNOT live without them! I'm no longer worried about bibs as these worked perfect! Not once did I feel like my pants were sliding down my waist and they were simple enough to take on and off when I needed to use the restroom, or just take them off in the evening. They held firmly to my gore-tex pants, and didn't slip or damage them. It was such a nice feeling knowing I wouldn't have to spend anytime trying to adjust my pants back up from when I was sitting or when I fell.....and when I fell, there was no snow up my back or down my pants!! They were super easy to adjust and while folks in my group laughed at me at first when I told them I got suspenders, they were all just as impressed as I was with how great they worked! Even during my fall, they never faltered! They now have a permanent spot in my ski bag, and I'm no longer worried about getting bibs! I know this was a long review, but I thought if someone went through a similar situation or loves bibs but can't find any color or pattern in bibs they want, then get pants and get a pair of these!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!

These work great. They clip on nice and tight and had no issues for my first season of snow boarding.

The product should be OK but as we leave winter now wont likely use them much til next November. I wish the straps were 2" wide not 1.5" but I can get by with them as they are. Also the black hard plastic clips are very strong and again I wish they were a little wider. The snow pants I use these on have a heavy, somewhat thick slippery material surface and a wider clip would give more gripping surface. The quality of the overall product is good and was shipped to me on time. I like shopping with Amazon. ncb

EDIT: I received replacement suspenders and they've been working great. No problems with the pin. So, I've updated my rating to 5 stars. They look great. The clips are genius and hold wonderfully. I must have gotten a defective one, though, because when I went to put them on a second time, the pin holding one of the clip in was gone. It had fallen out at some point. I posted a question here, and no one else said they had a problem with the pin. I contacted Amazon and they issued an immediate refund with free return shipping (and UPS Pickup at my home). I've just purchased a replacement which hasn't come yet. I deducted 1 star for the defect, but 4 stars for an otherwise great product and fantastic customer support on the return.
