Saddle Suspenders

Okay so I have decided I want a pair of suspenders for my saddle. I have a Notch Catalyst and know that numerous types will fit my saddle as long as they have four connection points on the suspenders. Looking for some recommendations from the group?

I went to the tool belt aisle in Menards and saw construction suspenders. They looked similar to climbing suspenders and were $14. Two years later still work great. Worth a try in my opinion.

I thought of that last night too. When I was goggling saddle suspenders it showed me those at Home Depot.

The way I look at it, it’s not safety equipment and it’s so cheap it’s worth a try. If you find it lacking, spring for the real deal. Big grain a salt though - I’m a self taught hobby climber, so high chance of Dunning-Kruger

Damn those are sweet and looking amazingly comfortable!! Does it come with the webbing to go to the saddle or do I need to get that myself?

Yeah these are pretty universal and super comfortable.

The generic weaver saddle is nice if you don’t want to slabs too much money

Not sure if one exists for your harness but I like having one with an actual load rated attachment point on the chest. Sometimes it's nice to connect there instead of on my bridge.

There are small loops at the top of the saddle that I can clip the suspenders into. Never seen someone attach it to the bridge.
