I have been using these for about 5 months now, they have worked great for ear pro, and staple guns while on the range. No more setting one down and loosing it in tall grass. I have used it with Walkers, Howard Leigh, and for the majority of the time, Safariland Liberators. These do have a wrap and wires on top, but I experienced no issues as an above user noted. I have laid prone on these forgetting they were there, and they both didn’t break, and they didn’t cause me pain. 1000% times better than putting them around your leg or neck.
