Klim Latitude Jacket and Pants Review

[Ray]

So far that has not been a problem, as they stay up nicely once I cinch up the side velcro straps. Darrell suggested suspenders but for a different reason - so that he can set the waist a bit slack for comfort while on the bike for a long time.

Darrell's right (as usual). Even with modern material, well-armored pants still tend to carry enough weight and hip protection to make belts and waist fasteners uncomfortable. Aerostitch comes to mind..., and I still miss my leather bibs..., but a zipper to the coat or suspenders will do the trick and prevent hot spots.
