## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use for eyewear while riding a rollercoaster. Would these suffice?**
A: Yes, these would work well. I've used them to hold my glasses on while motorcycling, boating, skiing and snowboarding. They keep the glasses on quite well.

**Q: Do the ends fit Ray Ban Wayfarers?**
A: Yes, I've been using the Chums 'upcycles' on my Ray-Ban Wayfarers for many years.

**Q: Do your sunglasses just slide in?**
A: Yes. The ends of the sunglasses slide inside the ends of the eyewear retainer. Keep in mind that they will also easily slide out if your sunglasses get caught on anything.   I use mine for safety glasses in the lab -- it adds a touch of color and keeps my safety glasses handy.

**Q: Is this pink or orange??? Says orange at the top orange in the photo and pink at the bottom and labeled as pink in the cart. Wanted Hi vis orange.**
A: Mine were black

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Best for Thinner Temple Tips
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023*

I bought these to keep my sports-style sunglasses from falling off my head. Compared to other eyewear retainers I have used, I found the Chums version to be tighter and harder to fit onto glasses with thicker temple tips. After some patience, I was able to get them on. In one sense, this snug fit ensures the glasses will not fall out of the retainer strand. In another sense, the snug fit makes it difficult to get the retainer on far enough to ensure the sunglasses do not fall out of the retainer with any bit of resistance. These are good quality, the right length, and usable, but the one glaring issue I have with them might be a deal-breaker for others.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Work pretty well, probably better for people with short hair
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023*

I like these and they work pretty well. They don't fall off and you can tighten them to keep glasses from sliding down your nose. The only thing is that they're probably best suited to people with short hair. I have long hair and when I try to adjust them, the slider ball thingie gets caught in my hair and almost every time a few hairs get pulled out. Ouch!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Chums are my go-to
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023*

Excellent as always.  I keep a few of these on hand so I can throw the dirty sweaty ones in the laundry.  They have been my go-to for years, and good color options too...
