I agree. Suspenders are much more comfortable than a belt when in the outdoors - especially when wearing heavy clothing.
I have a button-on style and a clip-on style from LL Bean that are pretty good. Don't know if they still sell them or whether they are still good, though.

I actually wear both. Dickies makes a good set of suspenders that hook onto your belt.
I started with them for hiking and hunting, and now wear them most anytime I'm wearing jeans.
It's very comfortable. Belt can be a tad looser while the suspenders keep everything up where it belongs.
Definitely not classy though. They're for "work" or very casual dress. I don't like my jeans to fit tight. Especially when hunting. I have big legs and a bit of a gut. So comfortable jeans, slightly loose belt, and Dickies suspenders. Perfect combo for comfort. I don't care about style at all.
Walmart had them for about $10.

You couldn't pay me to wear clip on suspenders.

I've been using a set of Filson button on suspenders on my wool Malone type pants for several seasons. I'm pretty sure they are going to outlast me.

Forgot to add the link. These are what I wear except in tan. They have plastic clips that hook under the belt. so no claw marks on your belt if that matters. Dickies Suspenders

You are 100% correct about comfort while hunting. I just put up with the snap ones. (carhart at the time) Mainly because can't find pants with buttons as the button ones are the best. Sure will be watching this post to see if anything is better than carhart.
Take care, Willie

Here's the brand suspenders I've been using. Mine have "Made In USA" embossed on them. http://www.perrysuspenders.com/persus.html These look like the model I've been using. The Original

One nice thing about the button-on LL Bean suspenders that I linked to previously is that you can snap open and release the strap part while leaving all of the buttons attached. This allows you to remove all of the tension from the straps while sitting. Then, when you are ready to reattach them, just reconnect the leather piece with the snaps back into the two leather button leads, and you are ready to go without needing to readjust the length. Looking at the pic will help explain: LL Bean Suspenders

By the far the best suspenders are from the Hold Up Suspender Company.

Buttons are the best, but some clippers are good. Just be sure to snap them onto the top of belt loops, not the waist material. 'sides, if 'spenders are good enough for rodeo clowns, they are perfect for some of us!

Hickman Saddlery, Stateline, Idaho. http://www.hickmansaddlery.net/ I am wearing a pair of the leather ones as I type this, and I also wear a pair of the ones on the right in both the color shown and in black. The leather ones are expensive, their my dress suspenders. I've been wearing Hickman Suspenders for years. Nothing else can compare for wear.
