KARPOS ALPINE SUSPENDERS Black

Karpos Alpine Suspenders are adjustable elasticated braces made from a polyamide and elastane blend, designed for trekking and mountaineering. They are designed to be worn with all technical trousers featuring belt loops, improving fit and comfort when moving over challenging terrain.

What conditions and activities are they suitable for?

With a width of 3 cm and an adjustable length, they are a versatile hiking accessory for keeping clothing in place. They are intended for hikers and mountaineers who need reliable support for their technical trousers during strenuous activity or while carrying a rucksack. They are compatible with Karpos trousers and all other models fitted with standard belt loops.

Key features and material

• Material composition: A blend of 85 % polyamide and 15 % elastane provides excellent stretch and long-lasting shape retention.
• Metal clips: The slim, discreet design of the clips provides secure attachment to trouser loops without causing pressure under a climbing harness or rucksack.
• Adjustable width: The 3 cm-wide straps provide optimal pressure distribution across the shoulders, preventing them from digging in on all-day hikes.

In use

On all-day hikes and treks, the elasticated design of the braces moves with the body, preventing trousers from slipping even when tackling steep ascents.

On technical climbs, the discreet metal clips and flat strap profile ensure comfort, avoiding uncomfortable friction beneath the straps of a heavy mountaineering rucksack.
