A harness strap assembly is adapted to be incorporated into the inner liner of the pants of a firefighter's turnout suit without requiring structural modification thereof. The harness strap assembly, when installed, comprises a single length of webbed strap (or, preferably, a securely interconnected bifurcated length) that is wound forward around the user's waist through waist belt-loops suspended from a suspender assembly; then down through loops suspended at the crotch of the pant liner; thence back around under the user's buttocks; then through loops suspended at both thigh areas of the liner; and finally back forward to the fly area of the liner. Adjacent to the fly of the liner, the crotch portions of the strap pass through a pair of metal or fabric carabiner-holding rings that are attached to the ends of the harness strap. The carabiner-holding rings, in turn, are interlinked (by means of a strap) with a metal carabiner of conventional design.
