Chums Lens Leash Eyewear Retainer Sunglass Strap

Really stays tight holding

I needed to purchase and wear reading glasses post-cataract surgery while my eyes healed and I waited to get a new prescription for glasses. This interim period is annoying. I can see far, but not close up. I didn't want to be constantly looking for where I left my glasses, so I purchased this lanyard to use on my reading glasses. They are perfect. Unlike some others who thought they were too short, I thought they were the perfect length. I am 5'8" and they hang right where I would like them to. Not too high, not too low. Great purchase for a short term need.

I used to use these leashes years ago and, if I recall correctly, the rubber gripper was a very different design, more open and a bit easier to put on. I use these, specifically for some older nylon frame sunglasses that won't sit securely on a ball cap for me (Smith Guide's Choice, Vuarnet, Wayfarers). My only gripe with these now and back in the day, is, depending on where you mount them on the temple, the string can tickle the sides of your face. There are other variations that won't do that, like the ones that attach at the end of the temple but I don't like the way those rubber tipped ones sit. I also use them for reading glasses when I'm out and about. Very handy. I would disagree with the one star comments as to security unless you're wearing metal frame glasses like traditional aviators.

This version of Chums Lens Leash, the polyester lanyard cord is longer (approx. 28 inches) and of lighter weight than the nylon lanyard cord on other Chums products. How the lanyard attaches to temple fittings allows the glasses to pivot so they lay flat against the chest. The temple fitting works well with both Peepers cheaters and wire rim Rx frames alike, until the temple fitting stretches from wear & tear. Every time I'm tempted to try a different Chums style I end up buying this one again instead.

Perfect, these stay on! Don’t hesitate to purchase!

It keeps me from losing my sunglasses into the river when rowing. The ‘leash’ is long enough that I can slip it over my sun hat, but not so long as to get in the way. I leave it on the sunglasses all the time, and It does not interfere when I want to put on my sunglasses quickly while I am driving. I use it on sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses, and the place it attaches to my glasses (on the arms of the sunglasses, about mid way front to back) does not interfere with my regular glasses. Other styles of ‘glasses leash’, the kind that is like a fabric tube that slips over the earpieces, does interfere.

I like

I purchased this product about 6 months ago to wear my eyeglasses around my neck. I take them on and off frequently. My complaint with other holders is that the loops tend to loosen and the strap will slip off the temple. This product started out great with a nice snug loop. However, after about 4 months, the loop loosened and would slide off the temple like so many other similar products. So, unless you have glasses with very thick temples or you only want a product with a limited useful lifespan, this product is for you.

Hard to find but worth it

Mala calidad no es como lo describen

Got this for my readers, as i don't need glasses for anything else. I have the bad habit of putting the readers up on my head, which pulls the baby hair around my face This lanyard keeps the readers around my neck, and aren't too long so I can carry on doing my barn chores, or cooking, etc. And being black, they fit with everything.

In the past, while relaxing floating through the lazy river pool at an outdoor water park in USA, my husband’s glasses were washed away as he was going through a small waterfall. We couldn’t find them in the water, but eventually someone near us kindly found them for him. Whether it was just the waterfall’s power or that someone unknowingly had stepped on them in the water, they were badly deformed. He had to drive right away to a closest eyeglass store to get them fixed… -That’s one situation I have the intention of using this product for as we’re planning to go to a water park soon. I tried it on my glasses. Looks good. Feels no weight. Probably it’s better than the silicone tube types, because (I imagine) I wouldn’t have to feel bulky/uncomfortable at back of my ears or neck.

fantastic....best one yet. I have tried 3 different ones for my mom. theses are perfect
