The Chums Original is the cotton eyewear retainer Chums has made since 1983, with an adjustable bead to set how snug it sits.

What it's for

An eyewear retainer connects to both temple arms of your glasses or sunglasses and runs behind your head, so the glasses stay with you if they get knocked off while paddling, fishing, skiing, riding, or working.

How it works

Cotton tube: soft, light 100% cotton with ends that slide over the temple arms

Adjustable bead: slide the bead toward your head to snug the retainer, or back to let the glasses hang

Compatibility

• Fits: most standard frame styles, per Chums
• How to check yours: the cotton end should slide over the temple tip and hold. Very thick or very thin temple arms may need a different end size

Care and service

• Washing: hand wash with mild soap and rinse thoroughly
• Drying: stretch back to its original length and let it dry
