I bought some miniature carabinas from a hardware store and thread them through the belt hoops on the pants and where the clips hook onto the braces.
Not an original idea but it works very well.

I had these ones purchased in 2018 and use them with riding jeans and so far they have not become detached at any point.

It is not really the clasps that are my problem which is more to do with the fact that the fabric loses it's elasticity after a short while and will not support the weight of heavy waterproof trousers with armour and pockets full of cash, keys etc
