The Carl-August braces from Harkila have been designed to be extra broad for heavy trousers. The leather straps fit trousers with buttons and all Harkila Gore-Tex trousers. Good braces can be invaluable when hunting or doing other strenuous activity, especially when carrying many items in your pockets. They can also provide better ventilation and comfort when loosening your belt and allowing your braces to do the work.
