Nice sturdy design, but does not float!

Bought these to prevent my Suncloud sun glasses from sinking when in the pool, lake and beach. Tested them in a lake and the sun glasses started sinking as if there was no float. While the strap around the neck works well, the floating function does not work at all.

Works well but only with light glasses

These work fine for my son’s plastic lens glasses but not strong enough to keep my heavier glass lens shades afloat.

Sank

Felt great, as in could barely feel it at all. Metal sunglasses sank immediately

Don't work

For the price I was expecting good results. Fell of the paddle board, prescription sunglasses went right to the bottom. I couldn't even see the neon float. I would not recommend

These WORK!

I got this for my husband, who randomly puts down his wire-rim glasses, and has a hard time finding them. He now not only keeps them on his neck comfortably, but when he does put them down, the bright float makes them easy to find. They grip the glasses very well, and are super-lightweight.

Toned down yet still effective

More subtle than the original Chums, still effective at floating my glasses. Win win.

Cool looking but not tough

Broke on first day of use. Would not suggest. Expect better from Chums.

I wanted to love these…

They did not stay on my glasses and kept falling off. Returned them
