They're all over Ebay for a decent price and work extremely well for a web/ 782 gear type setup

Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
IMO if you're adding suspenders/harness, then you're getting away from the intent of the battle belt. That's not a bad thing, as I actually prefer an LBE system, but it's just different. Battle belts are supposed to be standalone lightweight systems that pair well with a chest rig/plate carrier. The idea being that you could carry around a minimum fighting load (i.e. rifle mag, pistol, pistol mags, IFAK) while off doing other "non fighting stuff" like digging ditches or whatever. Then if stuff kicks off, you can fight your way to your plate carrier and plus up your combat load without reconfiguring anything else.
When you add suspenders to that, then you're needlessly complicating it.
I've never felt the need to add suspenders to my battle belt, but I have rather wide hips that support a fair load on the belt. If you're running into a problem where you need suspenders on a battle belt, you might want to rethink your set up. Battle belts are intended to work with a Plate carrier or chest rig of one sort or another. Suspenders get quite uncomfortable under armor, in my experience. Might be worth moving some stuff off the belt on to the PC or chest rig if that's the case.

Dude what are you putting on your belt thats so heavy? A belt is more for pistol and pistol sustainment with some essential medical and a rifle speed reload if running a long gun. Usually most of your ammo is on your plate carrier and the heavier stuff is on your back like full blow out kits ect.
Maybe if you are LE and need to run cuffs, OC or taser along with a baton for riot duty then suspenders are probably a good idea but for a fighting set up I wouldnt want to overload my belt line.

For context belt is a Esstac, 2 rifle .308/.223 3 handgun, Safariland/P229 and FAK. 100% for games that I don't take too seriously.
W/ .308 it's heavy enough I want them. Also, got my ass from Hank Hill evidently.
