I wear tac pants (5.11 etc.) most of the time when I am outside. The Tac 1-1/2" strap was my usual carry. It works best in an EDC situation. These elastic straps are much more comfortable for normal carry when no EDC items are needed. With firearms they don't seem to work for being so sturdy but I think I'll be wearing these straps a lot more than non elastic ones.Very glad it was a 2 pack as it saves me from buying another.
