Great for sports for adults and kids!

1 year ago

We love these! We have them on all of our sunglasses. They are slim, great for water sports especially because they don't stay wet. One of our kids was sledding, took off his glasses and they were around his neck. Half way down the hill his glasses slipped over the front of the sled... it pulled his head down for a second before it snapped. I was SO THANKFUL he didn't have one that was rope or something that wouldn't detach under a lot of pressure or choke him. Also, b/c the keeper snapped his glasses didn't break somehow. I happily replaced with these again. We have been using these keepers for 3 years now!

slim and effective

1 year ago

Resisted getting this due to previous experience but after dropping my expensive sunglasses once it seemed my only choice. A bit awkward with the on and off while wearing a hat but overall does what it's supposed to do - keep my glasses scratch free and secure.

Works like it should.

11 months ago

I wanted something easy to clean if it became soiled. I work in healthcare and I wanted to make sure my glasses stay on my face while in situations where I am not able to push up my glasses due to a face shield or emergency situations. It does the job.

I bought 3 different kinds of retainers. I only use one and am saving the other 2 for when the first retainer breaks.

Chum glasses holder

2 years ago

Chums super thin glasses holder still was too big for my Maui Jim metal frame Aviators. I had to put tape around them to hold it in.

2025 Sizing has changed big time....

3 months ago

...or should I say small time. Bought in 2022. Loved. Just bought some more and the opening is now so small that I cannot even come close to sliding them over the frame ends of my farily averaged sized glasses

Great leash

2 years ago

Great leash, comfortable to wear with sun glasses that fit over my prescription glasses. Easily slides on arm of glasses. Doesn’t get tangled in my hair. 😎
