Thanks for all the replies on storing stage regs with gloves on.

Basically three good ideas came out of it.

1) Use a wide (3") inner tube and pinch it
2) Knot the inner tube to grab it
3) Cut the innertube so it has a "tab" in it to grab.

Obviously the innertube is desirable over the bungee because it is all one
piece, and thus, superior to strokish convolutions of any kind.
