The Stronghold Comfort Package bundles the 5055 Stronghold Suspenders with the 9008 Hip Buddies for all-day comfort under a loaded tool belt.
The suspenders carry the load up top. A padded, contoured yoke lined with moisture-wicking Dri-Lex spreads the weight across your shoulders and keeps the straps in place, taking strain off your hips and lower back while you stay cooler and drier. Chest pockets keep small tools within reach, and the heavy-duty center D-ring lets you hang up the whole rig when you take it off.
The Hip Buddies take care of the belt. These lightweight, high-density cushion pads slide onto any belt up to 3" wide and add padding at the hips without adding bulk. They accept bags up to 7.5" wide and are sold as a pair.
Together they give you support at the shoulders and cushioning at the hips, built for full days under a full load. Available in OxyRed and OxyBlack.
Made in the USA.
