Review on Retro-Inspired MENDENG Heavy Duty Suspenders For Men - Adjustable X-Back With Swivel Hooks by Bob Berry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Clips break frequently

The suspenders are comfortable, easy to adjust, and easy to use. However, the clips fit into a "collar" that holds them in place. Whether the metal is wearing off on the clip tab, or the collar metal is too soft and being forced out of shape, the collar is constantly breaking loose from the clip. I take it into my shop, put the tab back into a collar and use a hammer and nail set to tighten the collar around the tab again. This will hold for several weeks and then it will eventually come loose again, and I have to try to repair it again. I've owned this set less than 6 months and have had to repair it 3 times already. If you don't mind repairing them, I guess at this price you won't go too far wrong.Update: the metal collar finally broke in half trying to tighten it around the tab for the 3rd or 4th time and I had to throw them away. Based on my experience I would say to expect no more than 6 months to a year out of these if you wear them daily. I ended up knocking one more star off for the premature breakage.

Pros
  • i liked not having to worry about back straps coming undone getting in and out of my truck
Cons
  • I didn't like the way the suspenders fasten to the pant loops
