Snigel Braces v2.0 – Tactical Pants Suspenders

The Snigel Braces v2.0 are practical tactical suspenders designed to keep your trousers securely in place during active use. They are especially useful in winter conditions, when extra layers and heavier gear can make waist belts less comfortable or less stable.

Inspired by the classic US Army braces from the 1950s, this system attaches to the sides of the trousers. You thread the braces around the belt or through the trouser bands, creating a stable carry that works well with field clothing and load-bearing equipment.

A key advantage in real use: when you need to answer nature’s call, you can simply release the braces at the sides and pull down the trousers without removing a vest or padded jacket. The v2.0 update adds a hook that makes attaching the braces to your trousers quicker and easier.
