Ah, for a moment that didn't translate to english(*).
I think I see what you mean, like a backpack harness (hip and shoulder belts) without a backpack.

You may find adjustable tent poles are a cheap source of material for the supports.


*) English might think first of the suspenders that hold up ladies' stockings and not braces that hold up trousers.
