Chums No Tail Adjustable Eyewear Retainer

I purchased a pair of these for my 8 yr old in 2011, and people continue to ask me where I got them. I've been referring people to this product without hesitation for 2 years, so I thought I should write a review. My son has ADHD and CONSTANTLY loses things--esp. his glasses. I needed to find a cord that he could attach to them when he wanted to take them off, but my challenge was that he has sensory issues with tags, cords, buttons, etc. I found these and was optimistic because they are really the only thing out there WITHOUT a tail or cord hanging on the back. They have exceeded my expectations. This is an ingenious and quality product. They are a very soft thick cotton fabric (like a sweater or thick sock), so the tube-ends that slip over the arms of the glasses are nice and cushiony...now my son doesn't complain about the arms of his glasses rubbing on the tops of his ears. He's been wearing them every day for 2 years, can easily adjust them himself, and keeps them on a snug setting so it fits gently around his head and doesn't even rest on his neck (they are created so the glasses will stay on during active sports). We've handwashed and air dried them several times, and they have held up perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend this product. I'm not sure why the other reviewer's didn't fit the arms of her glasses, hers must be quite narrow. They fit my son's kid-size glasses without a problem. (If they didn't, I'd probably handwash it, put it inside a tube sock to keep it protected, then put it in the drier. I'm sure the cotton would shrink at least a little, and maybe help them stay on.)

I went white-water rafting with my family and needed something to keep my glasses safely attached to my head. My eyeglasses are prescription and have transition lenses that turn into sunglasses when I'm outside. That's great, but they're too pricey to risk losing them in the river. This retention strap held them in perfectly. It was comfortable but snug. My glasses kind of fall down my nose most of the time (even though I have plenty of nose for them to rest on), but this strap kept them right where they belong.I thought the tension of this strap would be annoying or uncomfortable, but I forgot about the strap right away.We rafted two long days and this strap did what it needed to do. I got tossed out of the raft once by accident and jumped out to swim plenty of times. My glasses never moved at all.

I use these on sunglasses to keep a tight fit on my head when biking. These do the trick but then can be tricker to put on and off. They are very comfortable though and really work well.PROS:-comfy material-slip on hard plastic material easily-work wellCONS:-fits larger heads-I had to push the ends almost all the way to the front of the glasses (and I have a big head)-harder to remove put on than the behind the head draw string type-not an elastic stretch band. You cannot fit it to your head and hold with some elastic force.

I needed something to hold my glasses to my head as I played intramural soccer, and this product did it well. Now I even use it to go for my daily runs. I didn't realize that I wasn't getting the most out of my running experience until I used this product to hold my glasses. It's a bit cheesy, but now I actually enjoy outdoor running because I can see nature all around me.Pros:- soft, quality material- easily adjustable- washableCons:- a little too tight sometimesOverall: 5/5. This product works well. It's easy to attach it to a pair of glasses, and it creates a snug, comfortable fit.

These are the best‼️ We have a bunch of these both floating and none that are “tailed” but these tail-free Chums are THE BESSST❣️ Wore them off roading, then ~100mph racing in the salt flats & then down the river the next day & I’m impressed👌 So I just bought a few more in black bc the gray hides the white mineral sunscreens well but my husband prefers to wear the traditional (hormone disrupting) chemical sunscreens that are silicone slimy & greasy so light gray would pick up all of that crap from the back of the neck & look gross faster.

At its tightest setting (in wrapping around the head), it's still not tight enough to keep my glasses from falling off during jogging, despite me having a fairly normal-sized adult head. (It could just be that the temples on my glasses are too long.) My solution was to tie a knot right in the middle, which gets rid of some excess length. It works, but for an adjustable product, it should have been designed to go from too tight, to just right, to too loose (rather than too loose, to even looser).The material seems quite sturdy enough to last for years. I am kinda concerned about the two ends where the temple tips of glasses are inserted into. If your temple tips are too wide, it takes a long time to squeeze them into the ends.Overall, it works, but requires a lot of set up time if they turn out to be too loose for your glasses.
