  • Sometimes the load gets too heavy and you just need suspenders to keep your duty belt from sagging down. Other times your back pain starts getting the best if you and making it hard to work. Today, we look at a few pairs of suspenders and talk about the features of each and where the industry has gone in the last ten years.
    Featuring:
    Uncle Mikes suspenders
    BlackHawk suspenders

    I have used K&W brand SWAT suspenders before. They are pretty solid. I had the same issue with my Uncle Mikes, and they ended up in the trashola. I currently run the HWC Nylon Police, Fire Adjustable Duty Belt suspenders on my armed duty belt. They take awhile to get adjusted, but once they are set up, they are really comfy.
    Awesome video if I ever need to replace my current suspenders, I will look into the 911gear ones.

      +Sgt. Mushroom I just got a new pair from 911gear that have a more comfortable back plate. I'll be doing a vid on them in the near future.

    Have you tried the suspenders from L.A. police gear. I've been using them for over two years now. They are very good.

    I had my local tactical thread shop make me a pair with some basic webbing, a sewn H harness arrangement and "HK" hooks attached to D rings on the keepers, seems to work nice and was under $20. Those canadian ones look pretty damn nice though, looking forward seeing how they do longevity wise.

    Can you wear spenders with a outer vest? Most of my gear is on my outer vest, but I still get sagg on my belt throughout the day and I would like to use the suspenders to keep that from happening. It wouldn't mess up your back or anything for all the weight not being on the belt?

    @AnInnocentLittleBoy Před 8 lety

    Hey man. Does your department have any set equipment that is included in the trunk of/with the cruiser? I know some depts will have large AEDs and other neat trinkets hidden away in the trunks. I also second the notion that you do a patrol carbine video.

    • @freefieldtraining
      @freefieldtraining  Před 8 lety +1

      +AnInnocentLittleBoy I got a big fore extinguisher and a snow brush. It's uber exciting stuff. Oh, and there is a brick. But, that's mine for breaking windows out of cars.
      I'll have to get on the carbine thing. Lol

    Not allowing external vests is stupid af and having that weight on someone's waist for years is going to eventually going to hurt them in some way. There's absolutely 0 reason not to allow external vests

      Back Defense Systems, I just got them, so far so good. But a lot adjusting. I’m optimistic though, and also, awesome customer service. Expensive in the front, but if the rigs works... long term, it’ll be worth it.
