A lot of my flashes slide right off the elastic rig. I use the flashless elastic to hold up my kilt hose when casual.

Tried it once without the elastic and the hose fell down from walking. Was embarrassing, was on a found body scene and there were macho cops all over...I was forever tugging up my kilt hose....not the impression I wanted to present.

That long morning sold me on elastic without the flashes.
