Chums Slip Fit Rope Glasses Retainer - Unisex Adjustable Eyewear Holder Sunglasses Strap
W**N
Just the thing for my lady!
I like the CHUMS floaters when I'm fishing, but my girlfriend complained that the pieces that fit over then ends of the earpieces add too much bulk. So I bought her a set of these, since they attach farther forward on the earpieces. She loves them -- but then, she doesn't go fishing as often as I do. Seriously, they're ideal for keeping hold of your sunglasses during practically all outdoor activities including walking, jogging, hiking and perhaps even some amusement-park rides.

Inexpensive way to keep eyewear on your at all times
These are a tad different than eyewear retainers that go over/around the end of sunglasses' arms. These go over onto the middle of the arm itself, which means the rope will hang on or next to your ears. These resemble what school teachers used to use to keep their reading glasses handy. I do like that it's different this way, and it comes in fun colors to complete the nerdy look. These help a lot in the summer when walking my dog because my hands are full! I don't have to worry about clipping my sunglasses to the back of my head hanging onto my ears, or on top of my head (which gets the lenses all blurry from hair product rubbing onto the lenses). I also learned the hard way NOT to clip sunglasses onto my tee shirt collar. I hurt when I dropped my new pair of Oakleys smack onto the floor when reaching down to get something that had fallen onto the floor.The strap is adjustable, and the cord is washable. These will not help your shades float. The snug part that holds onto your sunglasses arms are soft and made of rubber so won't scratch your eyewear. Inexpensive and "different" looking, these retainers are worth the few bucks.

keeps me from losing my sunglasses
I kayak and swim. the chums hold my glasses on. one must remember that when going into the water, it is best to tighten the chums. otherwise, your glasses may still come off over top of your head. I use my chums with sunglasses every day. they hold up well. I think I paid $7 for this pr. that's about the normal price if you can find them in a store. they also shed water quickly.

Inexpensive and sturdy!
I'm nearsighted, so I must wear corrective lenses to drive or see anything at a distance clearly. These eye-wear retainers are well designed. they maintain a good strong grip on the end of my glasses frames--great for windy days. And I especially like the numerous color choices this company offers. The woodland camo colors are a great addition in my bug-out bag.After all, in the event of a prolonged emergency scenario, the last thing you wanna lose are your prescription glasses.

The best retainers I've found
For simply keeping sunglasses around my neck when I'm briefly not wanting to wear them, these are perfect. Like many other reviews have said, the small rubber loops that go onto the glasses get stretched out over time, allowing the string to easily slide off of the glasses temple. For use around town, this is an annoyance. If one were on a boat and leaning over the edge, it could lead to lost glasses. I wish Chums would make the rubber loop a bit stronger and non-stretchable.

Fit Perfectly!
I received a pair of sunglasses for Christmas, and decided to grab a new sun-glass strap. After looking around, I did not like the ones that were made from cloth that attached at the end. I preferred the rope ones such as this product. The glasses that I received had a wide back which could not fit some of the other style retainers. I chose this one, and it looks, and fits perfectly.Length, before purchasing this product I read other reviews that talked about the rope not being long enough and that they struggled getting the glasses over their head. For me, this was not the case. I am a 6' 3" male, and the string gives enough slack for me to comfortable put my sunglasses on, with the retainers being attacked in the middle of the glasses. (I believe the problem for most people is that they attach the retainers at the very front of the sunglasses, which is incorrect).I am very satisfied with this product, and will recommend it to others.

They slide off my glasses . . .
Nice looking. Obviously well made. The price was right. The cordage is a little stiff and kinks and becomes knotted. That may result from the way I twist and turn - and is perhaps not the fault of the cordage. But I suspect that if the cordage were a little limper that kinks would shake out more easily. I am using these Chums with drugstore reading glasses - Magnavision to be exact. The glasses' ear-pieces are thin and the little rubber gismeroid whatchacallit on the bitter ends of the Chums which slip over the ear-pieces tend to slide off. This tendency to slide off gets worse as hair oil builds up and makes things more slippery (ugh). I guess I better order some Head & Shoulders - from Amazon of course. Mr. Bezos will need a set of Chums Eyewear retainers when he takes up his new role as Editor at the Washington Post.

confidence
This was purchased to hold my glasses securely while boating. I like that the clips hold the earpiece further toward the front and does not interfere with the bit by my ears. The loops fit over the ends and tightened well.

Handy for outdoor or sport activities
These are great for outdoor or sports activities. I like how you slide the rubber loop onto the arms of your glasses and can re-adjust accordingly. No issues or worries about glasses flying off and they nicely hold your glasses (hang from neck) when you need to wipe sweat off your face.Note - the design style leans heavily towards “sporty” so if you are looking for indoor office usage these are probably too casual looking.

I’m more than pleased
My glasses are a little loose on me and I was always pushing them up. Now There is no need. I pull the rope snug on back of my head and my glasses stay snug. No more pushing them up. Very satisfied. Will buy again. 🤗

Prefectos y aún excelente precio!
Los compré para usarlos en kayak y canoa para evitar perder mis lentes de sol y me funcionaron de maravilla. Si los aprietas mucho puede salirse de la pata del lente, pero ajustados sin apretarlos demasiado cumplen su función sin problema alguno, altamente recomendables.

works well
work well and are great for different style of glasses. The string could be a little longer but it is a well made product.
