Which one of these mechanisms do you look for in a pair of pants? Or do you prefer using various shoe laces to hold up your two sizes too large snow pants.

Suspenders. More comfortable than shoe laces and not as big as bibs

Bibs then suspenders. Why not be 100% sure snow won't get in your pants?

Not looks haha, I don't like how wide most suspenders are. I found Line ones are shitty and the Saga ones are too short.

Bib all the way. no snow getting in your grill, and most of the time bibs have extra storage pouches. perfect for phones and shit.

on your belt loops and they cross on your back, its just to look cool pretty much they do the exact same thing as suspenders

I found the armada ones to be perfect in both aspects you stated. I can't even ride shoelaces, way too uncomfortable.

It's sort of a gypsy/skateboarder trend

To clarify I use shoelace suspenders, not a shoelace belt. I'm not a gypsy.

Arcade Belts shred! Way more comfortable than a shoelace, and less restrictive than traditional belts. Usually, I wear a patagonia belt, which is awesome, but I rock the arcade for skiing and bouldering.
