Review on Cablz Zipz: The Adjustable And Lightweight Eyewear Retainer For A Comfortable Fit by Matt Charlton

Great concept and decent execution and ergonomics--but honestly--do yourself a favor and check out Croakies copy of this product--the "Croakie ARC Endless". I've lived with both and MUCH prefer the Croakies adjustable cable retainer system.Croakies cables are more narrow and light, and the adjustment tabs are much smaller and slide much easier--almost as if they are lubed and have power-steering as opposed to the clunky and hard to move tabs on the Cablz. The Croakies are also articulating, so you can make the cables point down--not sticking out in mid air right behind you, making you look like dork; this is mainly an issue with glasses that have straight temples (kinda rare). If you prefer to articulate the cables to stick straight out or up, you can do that with Croakies articulating system, it's your choice. With the CableZ you only have one option, based on how your glasses temples are shaped (down or straight).The only advantage to the CableZ is the XL size if you have really HUGE and wide temples arms on your glasses, which is rare.The only disavantage to the Croakies ARC is that the silver model (clear stainless steel cables) comes with white-pale silver ends and adjustment tabs--looks really dorky on black glasses. The black ends and adjustment tabs are much nicer on the clear stainless Cablz, as long as you can live with the 3X times thicker cables and the sluggish clunky feeling adjustment tabs.Do yourself a favor and check out Croakies copy of the Cablz retainer system if you like black or have lighter colored glasses and can love with their silver model; the Croakie ARC is a much better engineered cable retainer system and MUCH easier to live with on a daily basis. Trust me!
