Slap straps don't work for me. I tried one of those bands with the light in it, but not the Planet Bike one. It had no elastic at all. I just ordered the band with the neoprene on the inside. I've tucked my pants into my socks, but I happen to like "crew length" socks which come only about six inches above the ankles. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Boy, I'm picky!
