I wasn't very well.

I didn't really like these. I wanted my sunglasses to float when boarding in case I fall. They can work well if you have thinner wire-frame glasses, but thicker wayfarer glasses can be difficult to put on and take off. For thicker frames I bought these instead and they worked much better for me. They look and feel pretty cheap, but they keep your goggles afloat. I leave them to guests who may wear thinner frames.

Pros
  • Foam
Cons
  • Expensive

The photo shows the old version, the new version is useless for wire glasses. slips off easily

It's Not What You Get, You Get More new version with larger tube, with standard glasses, wire frames etc. these slip off. It sucks compared to the old style that didn't come off (the ones in the photo), the picture is not what you get. The newer version has shorter and fatter floats and a large (too large) diameter tube. The tube you receive is 1/4" in diameter, older tubes had 1/8" tube. Attached is a picture showing the old version (blue) and the new version I just received (black). the old…

Pros
  • ✔ HIGH VISIBILITY - Bright colors on the strap and/or foam floats make this goggle strap highly visible in most conditions, from murky waters to crystal clear lakes
Cons
  • Not Sure

Unfazed and disappointed

I lost too many glasses in the water See, so it's a must. I've had several different types of them and I can say that I don't really like this style. My glasses are made of very light titanium, so they are too big for my glasses. When I tilt my head back, my glasses slide off my face because they are peeking out from under my cleavage. My husband also has a pair and he doesn't like them either. Although none of us wear plastic glasses. The fit on my ends is semi-loose and I would have preferred

Pros
  • ✔ Floats up to 32g Made from durable yet flexible latex, Floating Halfpipe Harness has foam inserts to help it float up to 32g, perfect for long days on the water
Cons
  • Not sure
