Reviews & Ratings for Viking Tactics VTAC Combat Suspenders — 2 reviews — Page 1

This Viking Tactical is great & simple to get started with as these are my 1st suspenders "but" the simple design made it easy to get started no instructions needed. It comes with (2) wraparound velcro straps that secure around belts or rigs (currently used on my trainer belt which is wide). You can use the g-hooks on pants directly at the 3 & 9 o'clock on belt loops but depending on the pants it may look & feel off so using the straps in the same position fastened behind the very loops secures it down far more effectively. Based on the other review (listed) the person had trouble placing holster in the 3 o'clock position but this would be if you're using the belt's loops directly from the pants (causing pants to enclose around the waist preventing other equipment) but using the straps will make it move freely on belt and will allow access for a holster is the easiest remedy I found thus far. I hope the simple design make it last.

These suspenders were purchased with EDC/CCW in mind. Think of these less as "suspenders" and more of "minimalist LBV". In most cases, I like to wear suspenders over my undershirt to provide more support for my belt when I'm carrying concealed. Depending on where I'm going and what I'm planning on doing, I may also have other things on my belt -- a spare magazine, a knife/multitool pouch, a cellphone pouch, etc. I figured these suspenders would be a nice upgrade to what I had. And to that end, I can say they're VERY well made. Very high quality material. They seem like they would last along time, however, these suspenders have one large flaw.

You can see this flaw if you watch the youtube video where Kyle Lamb demonstrates how to put these on. They're designed to hook onto your belt loops at 3 and 9 o'clock. This is prime belt real estate that you have now taken up with these suspenders. Want to carry IWB at 3 o'clock? Good luck. Your suspenders are now OVER the grip of your handgun. Want to carry that spare mag IWB at 9 o'clock? Nope. Now you have to fumble around your suspenders to yank that mag out of the pouch. Basically, anything you want to carry at 3 and 9 o'clock interferes with the suspenders, ESPECIALLY if you're carrying IWB. Even outside on your belt you get some interference.

This can be remedied somewhat by using the included belt loops provided. You can attach the suspenders a bit farther back on your belt. However, if you do that they won't support your pant...
