Abstract: A drag harness is disposed within a protective garment, such as a protective coat, except that the drag harness has two gripping portions, each of which extends outwardly from the protective garment, through an associated one of two separate openings of the protective garment, and which are connected to each other, outside the protective garment. Being connected to each other outside the protective garment, the gripping portions cannot be inadvertently pulled in to the protective garment, through the garment openings.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a suspender set intended to be worn with a belt and worn under a person's shirt where it can not be seen that the person is wearing suspenders. The suspender set is particularly useful for a uniformed officer who carries heavy equipment on a belt, but can not wear suspenders because of uniform requirements. The invention is also useful for people who would like to wear shirt and suspenders without the societal stigma associated with wearing both belt and suspenders.

Abstract: A kit for supporting a pair of trousers on a wearer's body comprises a plurality of connectors for connection to the upper part of the trousers at two pairs of spaced locations at the front and rear of the trousers. The kit also includes a belt for attachment to the connectors such that the belt extends from the one of the connectors in the front of the trousers upwards along the wearer's chest and over the wearer's shoulder down the wearer's back and connected to one of the connectors at the rear of the trousers and extending along the wearer's back towards and connected to the second one of the connectors at the rear of the trousers. The belt then extends upwardly along the wearer's back and over the wearer's other shoulder down the wearer's chest towards and connected to the other one of the connectors at the front of the trousers. A method for supporting a pair of trousers on a wearer's body is also provided.

Abstract: A pair of suspenders and a belt for use in securing firefighter's pants are manufactured of an inelastic material to prevent the firefighter's pants from sagging. In conventional suspenders, the elastic nature of previous designs tended to lose their strength over the course of time and cause a potentially hazardous and uncomfortable situation in which the firefighter's pants no longer hang at the desired place.

Abstract: Adjustable fire fighters' suspenders that are physiologically conformable when used with bunker pants. The suspenders are designed for comfort, proper fit, and flexibility in movement that corresponds with the movement of the wearer during normal fire fighting activities. The suspenders include a back sliding loop and elastic straps which have a predetermined limit of stretch at the four ends of the shoulder straps which connect the suspenders to the bunker pants. The suspenders provide an improved distribution of weight and increased support of heavy bunker pants and reduce the problem of "bunker bounce".
