Here's my setup:

Unger Padded Grey Belt (most comfortable I've used)
2 Grey Unger Jumbo Pouches (one for sill wipes, one for dry Microfibre)
Unger Grey Personal Bag (for wallet, 'Windows Cleaned' chits, mobile etc)
Unger Traditonal Style BOAB - holding either 10" or 12" Unger Ergotec squeegees, Unger safety scraper and 14" Applicator with Ettore Golden Glove sleeve

Looks a lot when you list it like that.  I often see window cleaners that have nothing round their waist and just hold their squeegee and applicator, with a piece of scrim over their shoulder and I do envy them at times but I'm always much slower if I don't have my kit round my waist - might try it again tomorrow though.

What do you other guys do?

IT';S ok if you'v got a waist. Mine is constantly trying to get down to my knees.
I have even considered making shoulder straps to keep the ruddy thing up. Dai

I've got them, but couldn't work out how to fit them!!????

(I'm a Geordie).

I thought it would be simple for me, being ex-army and fannied about with with lots of military belt/chest kits and stuff, but in the end it got slung into the cupboard under the stairs.
