The STIHL ADVANCE black Suspenders are designed to work with STIHL ADVANCE work trousers, keeping them secure and comfortable during long days on site. Made from elastic polyester with a reinforced Hypalon back panel, they provide reliable support without digging in or slipping.
These black braces attach quickly using hook-and-loop fasteners, making them simple to fit and remove. Built for forestry, arborist and landscaping work, they’re a straightforward replacement for worn or lost originals and a sensible upgrade from generic work braces.
Designed for STIHL ADVANCE Work Trousers
The STIHL ADVANCE Suspenders are built specifically to pair with STIHL textile work trousers, including the ADVANCE X-TREEm range. They attach using hook-and-loop fasteners rather than metal clips, which means they integrate properly with the reinforced loops on STIHL trousers without damaging the fabric.
If you’re wearing chainsaw trousers or heavy protective workwear all day, a proper set of braces makes a noticeable difference. They hold the trousers at the correct height, reduce pressure on the waist and stop the constant readjustment that happens when you’re bending, climbing or kneeling.
Material and Construction
The main straps are made from elastic polyester webbing, giving enough stretch for movement without feeling loose. At the back and attachment flaps, STIHL uses Hypalon — a durable synthetic rubber material known for its resistance to abrasion and wear. This is particularly useful in forestry and arb work, where braces can rub against harnesses or outer layers.
The 5cm width spreads the load comfortably across the shoulders, helping avoid the narrow pressure points that cheaper braces can cause. Over a full working day, that width matters.
Simple Attachment, No Metal Clips
The hook-and-loop fastening system is straightforward. It allows quick fitting and removal, and it avoids the need for buttons or clip systems that can damage technical fabrics. For STIHL ADVANCE trousers, it’s the correct attachment method and provides a secure hold when properly fitted.
These are not universal fashion braces. They’re made for work trousers with compatible attachment points. If you’re using non-STIHL trousers without hook-and-loop tabs, they may not be suitable.
Fit and Everyday Use
With a length of 120cm and a 5cm width, the ADVANCE Suspenders are suitable for all sizes when paired correctly with the matching trousers. The elastic design allows freedom of movement when reaching overhead, climbing or operating machinery.
They’re also machine washable at 60°C, which matters for PPE and workwear that sees regular exposure to sweat, dust and sawdust.
Who They’re For
- Arborists and chainsaw users wearing STIHL ADVANCE trousers
- Forestry workers needing reliable trouser support
- Landscapers working long hours in protective gear
- Anyone replacing worn or lost original STIHL braces
If you already own STIHL ADVANCE work trousers and need a proper replacement, these are the correct match. They’re simple, durable and built to do one job properly — hold your work trousers where they should be.
