    Comments about EK Ekcessories Three-Way Eyewear Retainer:

    I do a lot of kayaking, so a reliable and comfortable eyeglasses retainer is important to me. I've tried, and even made, quite a few over the years and I like this design the best. The 3-way attachments provide several options for finding a comfortable orientation. For security it can be pulled fairly snug without discomfort. Because I only have had it for several months I can't comment on the durability of the rubber attachment ends, but even if they start to give out after one year's use, I'll buy another one as a replacement.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Fell apart

        • Flimsy

        Best Uses

          Comments about EK Ekcessories Three-Way Eyewear Retainer:

          I had one of these for about a year before one of the rubber end pieces came unglued from the cord at some point, but did not fall apart because it was held together by friction. I don't know how long I was sailing with them in this compromised condition. I'm switching to a strap without separate end pieces to reduce the risk of this kind of silent failure. For those of us with Giant Irish Heads, it would also be nice if the cord were a couple of inches longer, but that seems to be a common problem with all glasses straps.

          • Sizing:
          • Feels too small

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
