Bad Game for Costa Whitetip - No Matter What Costa Claims

Ever thought "People selling this thing should have been forced to use it"? This is one of those offers. Although Costa lists this as a recommended whitetip accessory, it actually doesn't work very well. The included hinge hooks (el-cheapo) are so small that they cannot move freely on fairly thick arms. So they always either stab you in the head or stick right out. In fact, they don't even hang directly from the back of the temple like you would expect. Also, the hook wire is so stiff you have…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Neutral

Undoubtedly the best strap for sunglasses!

I like the snap swirl. This will require you to drill a hole but is perfectly safe. I wish they had made them shorter because sometimes they get stuck between my seat and my back while riding. I've been using these belts for about 20 years. The connection is super secure; The strap is easy to tighten; And at the junction, the dimensions are zero, so the glasses still fit in the case.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Will be added later

Love it! - Sunglasses and accessories for glasses

I ordered two of these for our glasses. Sent quickly. I placed them on top of our sunglasses and approached the chief. I ordered them to take with us on our trip and they were delivered on time. My brother ordered them from the Costa website and they were exactly the same as what he ordered and the same price. I loved that I had Prime and didn't have to order more than $50 to get free shipping. They are, as they say, worth their money.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Not fashionable

Faulty design traced back to C-Line retainer

Despite some negative reviews I decided to try this product. Wrong move. I experienced exactly what many others have said in their reviews. (1) The cable is too long. It hangs halfway to your back, and while driving it's wedged between your back and the seat, making it difficult (or at least annoying) to turn your head. (2) The clips are so tight I had to use pliers to loosen and reattach them. I expected more from a genuine Costa product but in my opinion it's just bad design on several…

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • embarrassed

Protect your investment!

Nothing is perfect and these retainers are the epitome of it. First, they are too long. I had to remove at least 7 inches and reattach to the snap swivels for them to work. Speaking of screw caps, as long as they lie flat against your head, you'll be fine and won't pull or irritate. All in all, they keep my Costa Cape sunglasses secure while I work and aren't overly bulky.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Factor Set

Very long and thin hair

The good thing is that the clips are very strong and will definitely hold your glasses. The bad news is they're definitely too long, when you're in the car they'll dangle behind you, and if you lean forward slightly they'll yank you back, or at least put pressure on your face as a result. I have long hair and my hair gets caught in barrettes so that sucks too. All in all buy another pair

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Torn
