Angle adjustment = Comfort

I've been using it for several years and haven't found a better lock. I highly recommend myself. Please note that they are 14 inches and shorter than many retainers. The main reason I tried them was to adjust the angle of the earpiece. This allows you to tilt them back towards your neck instead of sticking right behind the glasses or tipping them up when the earbud is down. Overall I am very satisfied and would recommend the other two.

  • Good thing

Have you ever experienced heartbreak from scratched lenses?

I don't like sounding so serious, but I'm tired of spending hundreds of dollars on glasses and then suffering the first few scratches. Surprisingly, no matter how careful I am, I eventually drop them and they always magically land on the lens. They always seem to be scratching the dead center. Some people can handle scratches, I can't. So what's the solution? I found these wire croakies at a sporting goods store. They are so subtle that no one notices them. Instead of taking my glasses off and…

Beware of loose ends

Nice design but poor quality. I say this because the rubber tips that attach to the goggles will stretch over time (about two months or so) and the goggles can slip and fall off if force is applied to the cord. Once when my glasses slipped, the fall scratched one of my lenses. This is a known issue with Croakies and they are working to find the best material to achieve these goals. I was successful and received free tip replacements from them.

  • Good product for the price

holding sunglasses. If you can connect sunglasses

This product works but only after a long struggle to attach glasses to real sunglasses. It comes with several accessories, but none of them seem big enough for a couple of travelers with big temples. They are only suitable for really elegant sunglasses that do not require a thick mount

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Repair

Be careful when using this fixative!

The mount itself is good but the silicone ends have cracked and after about 6 months of daily use the mount fell into disrepair. The cleavage caught my attention as my glasses started sagging in my face. I could easily lose points if I was working outdoors or had a job that shook me (e.g. working with heavy equipment, on a construction site, etc.).

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • thin

Excellent attachment system for small frames only

I like this glasses attachment system. I've been using it for a few months now and I really like it. It's very minimalist, flexible, holds up well to sunglasses, and feels durable. However, my complaint seems to stem from the fact that they are advertised for medium to large frames. This system comes with two grip sizes. The rubber grip that comes with the system has a small hole that you attach to the back of your sunglasses. Therefore, this is the size to consider when purchasing this…

Rubber tips snapped after a few months

The rubber tips snapped on both pairs I bought after a few months. Of course I used them on Rayban Wayfarers. Although I used large rubber tips. They seem to have worked for at least two months with regular use. But when I went on a trip that involved salt water, sunscreen, and bug repellent, I bought both pairs of these mounts (rubber tips) bifurcated to allow the goggles to fall easily in the water. It is possible that the chemicals in these products did not interact well with this product…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Mystery

Meets my needs but could have had a longer cord

I needed this to avoid damaging my relatively good pair of sunglasses. Attachment to the headphones is comfortable and reliable, does not irritate the ears. The strap/cord itself could have been about 3 inches longer. The current length means I have to carefully fit it over my slightly larger head. The Revain can't get a smaller head, so it needs a longer cable. Still very light and works as it should.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • -

Not durable. I bought two of these. Both worked great for about a month, then the rubber ends started stretching and stopped squeezing my frames tight. At first I thought I could still use them as they still had some grip, but as the rubber stretched more and more they started falling off more and more often until eventually they started slipping off every time I took my glasses off. . In the end, the rubber hole was noticeably larger than before and very loose. I bought a second one hoping the

Pros
  • Decent performance

  • Blunt hardware
