Gear-Up's Surf Suspenders are made out scuba webbing material. The webbing material is not like what we use for our surf belts; the material isn't stiff and has a soft feel to it like its barely on your shoulders. It takes off the weight thats on your waist and evenly distributes the weight balance using your shoulders and thus eliminates the belt from ever falling and hurting your waist from buckling down the belt to tight. It has 3 tri-release buckles, plastic buckle for the chest area to secure that the suspenders don't move and a stainless steel triangle ring. The Surf Suspenders are one size fits all,you can adjust the suspenders to your likings; trim off the remaining and burn the ends and you're set to go.
