What is everyone using to keep pants up while wearing a heavy large pack?

FHF Apex suspenders attach at the side with gatekeeper clips if you’re looking for side attach suspenders. FHF makes well designed products

For $5 it's hard to beat a piece of webbing and a Sea to Summit buckle!View attachment 748168

This is too funny to me. I went on a long hunting trip a few years ago and when I got out to MT, I realized I had forgot a belt and was in the middle of nowhere. I fashioned one out of a buckle strap like the one pictured and it worked so well it's all I use now.

I’m using the ones that they sell separate and have the rear attachment point

I wasn't aware they were selling the old style as an accessory. I never liked that style but do use the newer style that came with a couple pairs of their pants I own.

It’s been mentioned but as far as belts go, the Hill People gear under pack belt is light years ahead of the other options imo. You never feel it under the pack belt and your pants stay where they belong. I’ve tried most of the options mentioned and even the smallest of buckles wind up bothering me.

Arcade Belt is the best I have found.

This is the one I use with slim width 1.25". Best belt yet.

Atlas

Freedom in a belt. Fine-tuned from years of adventuring, the Atlas is the new standard for performance stretch belts. Features our patented A2 buckle that feeds and releases effortlessly, and conforms to your body.

I have the HPG which is nice but the stitching started coming out and the velcro needed a tune up after moderate use
I'm still using a marsupial gear after heavy use and no issues

Stretch Web Belt

The perfect belt now exists! Our specially formulated stretch webbing makes this belt the perfect mix between comfort and durability. The stiff 1.5" webbing has a slight stretch embedded in it, allowing the belt to maintain a tight fit through the most rigorous activities. Our custom hook buckle...

interested in the atlas but that china sticker is a turn off

Marsupial belt works well and doesn’t dig into my hips. Some of the newer FL pants with only side connections for suspenders work pretty well also, but I don’t have many miles in them yet.

marsupial belt most of the time but also my old mil nylon web belt is my preference when hunting w/o a pack

I have one. Nice belt but not great under a pack. Digs into my hip.

For backpacking the skinny grey belt that comes with some sitka pants. Lightest option, thin, and the buckle hasn't broke after 2 years.
The smaller Arcade belt is the runner up, but the elastic wears out after a year or so of daily use.

Since my butt disappeared around 50, I use suspenders. The Viking Tactics ones work pretty good if I’m not wearing pants like my Kryptek’s that have their own suspenders
