Ukes Floating Neoprene Sunglass Strap - Adjustable and Anti-Slip Retainer for Glasses - Universal Fit

Before I got these, I went to the beach one day. I go into the waves and lost my glasses. I cried for three days. They were my favorite glasses. So many positive comments about them and now they were gone. I searched and searched on the internet for a solution. I remember meeting a southern bell once and she was wearing a string on her glasses. She called them croakies. I thought the idea was silly. Fast forward to today, I was on the hunt. I went to my trusty Amazon prime account and found Ukes, stylish, affordable and politically correct. I just got a fresh new set of Ray Bans - covered by my Flexible Spending Account from my health insurance. A great turtle beach pair, i think they were made especially for my face. I was excited and terrified at the same time. I rigorously looked through the reviews and was pleased. I almost cried with joy. I ordered them and they came in a jiff. Maybe there was a little too much plastic wrapping for such a small product - save the oceans- but ok. I went to my cousins pool, not too deep only six feet, as I did not want to lose them again. I placed the Ukes Premium Sunglass Strap on my new shades. They were surprisingly tight around the frame which made me exhale in relief. I threw them in the pool, in a test of my faith, and they floated. I fell to my knees. I bawled and screamed to the heavens -thank you thank you lord! Now, I went to the beach. The true test. My friends and family dragged me there. I told them I was not ready. I could not lose my babies again. They reminded me I had my Ukes Premium Sunglass Strap. We went, it was sunny, there was a light breeze, I smelled the ocean kiss my nose with its salt. Three members of party sabotaged me. They pulled me into the water. I kicked and screamed, holding on to my sunglasses hanging loosely off my neck. I am face to face with a wave now and get knocked away. Pulled into the undertow, I lose consciousness. More from fright of losing the sunglasses then lack of knowledge in swimming. I am a phenomenal swimmer. I regain consciousness. My worst fear came true, my sunglasses are gone. I yell, in anger, in pain, in agony. Through my tears I see a multi color object in the water. I swim over expecting it to be the lost bandana of a young child. I grab at the floating rainbow, hoping to find a pot of gold at the end, and find my sunglasses attached. I exclaim in joy. And speed home to write this review. TLDR; this product works.

I recently started stand up paddle boarding (SUP) so I needed something to help me from losing my sunglasses when I fall off the board. I tried the eyewear retainers with adjustable sliders but they are so long that the ends of the retainers kept coming in contact with the top of my personal flotation device (PFD) which was quite annoying. The Ukes have a snug fit on my sunglasses yet are easy to put on. More importantly, they stay on my Oakley Speed Jackets. The first time I took these out onto the water for a SUP session I fell into the water a couple of times (due to high wind and chop) but the straps held onto the sunglasses both times even though they came off my face. The overall length is just right for me; they are not snug around my head so they hang a little but they hang above the top of my PFD. Overall, this is a solid buy - they're stylish, they float, and they stay connected to my sunglasses.

(My Product Review) I like the sunglass strap because it fulfills its purpose and meets most of my needs. The material feels sturdy and reliable while at the same time remaining comfortable and unobtrusive. The graphics of the print are exactly what I expected when seeing the picture. The stitching did not tear and seems to keep its hold. I would like it to be a little bit longer for a more cheesy dad look but at the same time I bought these for my Snapchat Spectacles which I take with me to every festival, show, and the occasional cool activity/vacation/event. (Extra & My Advice) At said shows, festivals, and anywhere with music I tend to dance a lot and I dance hard where at one festival my specs literally went flying off my head doomed for a 2 story drop into a crowd of dancers if I didn't last minute grasped them mid-flight which has brought me here. I don't know the fitting issue that some people are encountering, but for me it fits just fine (the Snapchat Specs are loosely modeled from the wayfarer design) it may be a bit snug but with a bit of physical effort you can slowly work it up the arm of your sunglasses without messing with the original state of the strap. I also tried them on my Ray-Ban 2140 901/58 and again they fit exactly like the picture. Now I do understand some maybe concerned of the amount of force you have to exert I for one was I've gone through almost 16 pairs of glasses in my lifetime as of now so I understand how these things can be very temperamental at times while at the same time surprisingly resilient. So like other things with a tip that needs to be inserted into something very tight don't rush it and provide proper support and it'll probably not break use your judgement. (For Wayfarer Design) What you want to do with the seams facing towards the ground go tip first and insert it into the slit. If it's brand new you'll feel some resistance just take it slow and push forward occasionally you may have to readjust. Once you're an inch or two in you could just stop since its new so still very tight and it should technically get the job done, but lets be honest it'll eventually not be enough. You'll eventually get to the bend this is where you might need the support because you'll meet the greatest resistance especially with the final stitches. Just try to keep your tip up and then put your thumb at the base right next to the hinge this should provide the support you need to make the final push.If you find this to risky hopefully you a have precision screwdriver set aka a mini-philip's head unscrew the tiny screw (be careful w/ the screw it can easily be lost) and that should make it easier but later tedious to screw back on. As for the whole floating thing I don't have a container tall enough to easily fill with water and I'm not taking the time to fill up my kitchen garbage can to just test this out, but if the opportunity presents itself I'll come back and edit and probably change it to 5 stars if it floats 3 if it doesn't as well as how well the strap holds up out on the field.

I forget I'm wearing them, very comfortable. Easily used with all kinds of glasses.

Great Strap! Well made and keeps my Costas with glass lenses floating.

This strapped looked great and was comfortable. Used it nearly everyday when driving my Jeep. Went hiking, off-roading, phishing, swimming in salt water, etc. It worked great until it lost its elasticity and the glasses began to slip out. Gave it three stars because I thought it should last longer than it did.

Great leash for your shades made of durable neoprene material. Nice selection of colors and patterns. Only have two things that I would do to improve the design. First, offer different size holes where the temple pieces are inserted. If you have sunglasses with large temple pieces, it will be difficult to insert them. I'm currently using them on BNUS Commander sunglassed and the fit for temple pieces is very tight and was difficult getting them in holes but will soon be using them for Vuarnets with narrower temple pieces. Second, I would add a bead or something that would allow you to adjust size of product. I prefer my sunglasses to fit snuggly on my face to prevent slippage and having to constantly push glasses up on nose. I fixed this by using thick, small-diameter, black rubber band so I can adjust them to fit snuggly on face or hang loosely around neck while indoors or other low-light areas.

First off, I love the look of the strap. The design was perfect and it fit well on my sunglasses. Second, this literally saved my hundred dollar sunglasses as they fell off while paddleboarding in the ocean and thankfully the straps float so I was able to just quickly grab them and go about my day without a care in the world. Great design and great product. 10/10 would recommend it again.

臨機応変に対応出来る人なら買った方が良い。今まで5つほどこんな様なもの使ったがどれもパッとしなかったがこれは見た目も使い勝手も一番だった。

As expected. Does the job. Not buoyant enough to stop all but the lightest of sunglasses from sinking though.

Muy buena calidad

Good

Great for waterspouts
