Internal belt/suspenders? (To hold up thighs)

[Millar007[501st]]

Hi all - I tried searching but couldn't find any threads on input on internal strapping/belt/suspenders to hold up thighs. Any good threads someone can point me to, or other recommendations. What works best?

The originals had a large loop of elastic glued to the inside front which you pulled a belt through and wear outside of your undersuit under the torso armour.

and this is exactly what i do and it works beautifully.

I have this and it works great.

I based mine off a nylon dog collar with the little plastic buckle in the front.  I used nylon webbing for the belt, 1" inch elastic with snaps to attach the thighs, a plastic buckle, and the plastic adjuster.  Here is a front image of it, the back has two elastic pieces for the back of the thighs.  Don't mind them looking off, I couldn't pull them up any higher with my thick sweatpants on. Oh and the cheesy silver "A", I put that on since my husband has a similar belt as well.

I also have Ty's (Pencap510) thigh garter system.  LOVE it!

Thanks guys, looks perfect! I'll check it out

I HATED my setup with the belt/suspender combo until I too got Ty's product. Highly recommended!!!

Thanks all for the kudos! Shipping out two more in the morning and a few more in to build. Very humbled that I'm helping make trooping a little easier

Pencap - from ordering, what's your usual turn around time?

3-4 days from order to ship. If it's going to be different than that I'll keep you updated

[Millar007[501st]]

Cool - ill be placing an order in the exit month or so. I'm still at the "big brown box of misshaped plastic" stage...

I use a tactical velcroed rigger belt and works perfectly

I think I use a combination of both systems. I'm using a heavy duty cargo belt and suspenders from Lowe's. I have 2' nylon straps that hang down with butterfly clips, which then attaches to the thigh pieces. But I'm always open to other suggestions for a different system. I've been playing around with the idea of using a safety vest of sort to be worn with the chest armor/kidney plate. But we'll see

Sounds a lot like overkill. You don't need 100 lbs rated heavy duty gear to hold up plastic thighs that weigh a couple of ounces.

For me, a leather belt, webbing attached with chicago screws to the belt and a snap at the other end connecting the thigh. Works great for me so far !
