I can't be the only one with this problem.
My harness is the back support built in type, a Dakine Chameleon, and I don't use the shorts.
Pulling up and relaxing, up and down motion causes my blue jean trousers to slip down, ever how tight my belt. No matter. Static flying.
No serious pot belly here at 5'10" and 161 lbs.
I think I need suspenders, like I don't already feel old enough!
I apaolgize for this personal thread, but it's a kiting problem so where else?
If suspenders are the answer what kind are best. If it's something else please tell me and forgive my foolishness.
I will not, Will Not post any photos. Just to head off the wiseacre I know is waiting to pounce on this one.

Just sit in a buggy when you fly 
Or try a harness from PL or Libre or that pricey Ozone harness.

I've been using suspenders on my harness for years. I use the type that are designed for use with a carpenters tool belt. They are the type that does
NOT stretch.
I use them to keep the harness and my pants from falling down. I also don't wear my harness tight on my body. It's able to float from side to side and
such, besides I haven't been able to fasten the front of the harness in years.:o

Got it. I get my choice, Green Acres or a Carpenter. I like both.
Suspenders of the sturdy non elastic type will fit in my gear bag, and are easy to put on regardless of other seasonal attire, and in public.
Bib overalls might be okay too. Cool factor is pretty high there.
Sit in my bug, well I want that more than most anything right now. Learning to fly my first depower ( thanks Steve ) is hard enough, too soon to add
the bug into the mix.
Thanks for the help guys.

Sorry but this thread has released the inner 10 year old in me :D
On this side of the pond your descriptions have a totally different meaning
Pant = Boxer shorts
Suspenders = What women use to hold up their stockings/ lingerie
I have now a terrible mental picture of what you all look like when out flying which I will not be able to shift

I am fully aware of what my verbiage means in "the old country" sir. I full well expected a comment from England, but not Scotland. I mean if you're
in a kilt how can you make fun of me braces? You poked at my pink kite vid too methinks. I'll keep my left eye on you.
Will these work do you think?

Craftsman. Under a lb. and only 23.USD Shipped.
Clips instead of hooks.

as you can see a kilt can be used for added lift if the wind is right
And sometimes we even take to the water while our pal gives us a tune on the bagpipes :D

So Unk is short for Undeniably Nice Kilt.
