Croakies Micro Suiters Eyewear Retainer

I don't really like to carry a purse or much else when I'm taking my university classes - my overstuffed backpack is more than plenty. Unfortunately, putting my sunglasses anywhere in my backpack while books are also in it places them at risk for breakage, unless I get a rigid case for them (which takes up a lot of space, which is at a premium in my backpack). I live in sunny Louisiana, and have them on my face, or the top of my head, nearly every day. I'd never tried any of these types of sunglasses straps, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about them. After about a week, I do wonder why I've never used them before, because I love them! The color selection is great, they hold on TIGHT, and I can adjust them in so many ways, any of which could be convenient for me, depending on the situation at the time. I'm going to get a pair for my back-up sunglasses, as well as one for my boyfriend, who is forever losing his. These are great!

If my review is helpful, please click that it was!I don't have much experience with croakies beyond this set. I really enjoy them. They seem to be well made. They will fade after a few years of wearing them in the sun. However, they are offered at a great price and have lasted me a efw years. I recently lost my RB 4125 glasses with these attached. I have promptly replaced both.They have secured my glasses when I have fallen and while riding my motorcycle. On my bike, I was merging onto a highway and looking over my left shoulder. The wind got behind my glasses fram and blew them right off my face. I lost one pair of glasses like this, but the croakies saved the second pair!Would definitely recommend these. Enjoy!

These fit as expected and they work just like I hoped they would. A caution, the "micro" means just that. They fit tight on a pair of glasses with a narrow "temple" piece, and small "temple tips". My temple tips are small, and it took some effort to get them on. I leave them on my glasses all the time. The slider on the retainer is easily adjusted to keep the glasses on tighter, which is helpful when I play golf.

I use these on a pair of sunglasses that measure approximately 8mm at the widest point of the earpiece. It held them in place very well, until they were weakened after ~1 year of daily use and the earpieces punched through the material. If you take the croakies off with any frequency or have an earpiece wider than this, they will definitely fail sooner. The material is also like a sponge. If you wear them daily, I suggest hand washing them at least once/week.Overall I'm not a big fan, but there doesn't seem to be much better out there.

I've had these on my daily wear glasses for about nine months now. I love them. I rarely hang my glasses around my neck, but that's not what I bought them for. I got them to tighten up when I'm throwing the football, working on the truck, riding the atv's, and any other activity that may make my specs slide down my nose. These work perfect. And they're comfortable enough that I pretty much only take them off for weddings and funerals. I also ordered a pair of Chums No Tails, but they're too big for my 7 1/4 sized melon and don't cinch down tight enough. Not a problem with the Croakies. I'm out in the weather a lot, and they kind of feel like they're maybe getting a little brittle, but they still look like new. And at $6-8 a pair, I'll definitely be ordering a couple more as backups. It does look like the charcoal color is no longer available, so that's a bummer, but I'll settle for black. Shipping was fast and ordering was a breeze as always with Amazon.

I'm farsighted. My glasses have three lenses in them. And without them, I'm pretty much blind. The glasses are over 5 years old. And sometimes they just scoot down my nose and fall off. This great product keeps that from happening. So, even if I'm bending down to do something, and my glasses fall off... this retainer makes sure that they stay close, like falling onto my chest. And if I'm doing any work or exercises, they are great. I can adjust them so that they keep the glasses positioned where I need them so I can see. It's a great product for the price.

I don't even care how much of a tourist I looked like walking around Disney and Universal with this thing, it was a game changer! Last time I went on vaca, I left my sunglasses at the hotel because I didn't want to shove them in my bag or put them on my head on rides. These things were really comfortable behind my ears, which I have some sensitivity with, and they did not slip off my glasses at all. They also didn't fall off on rides themselves when I had them around my neck. Very happy!

Very nice and fits perfectly on my Bolle' Swishers of which I removed the original rubber ear pieces. I am able to slip the ends directly over the "arms" of these frames and they stay in place quite well! NOTE: one reason they stay in place so well is due to the fact they THIS RETAINER IS ONLY 1/4 (0.25) INCH WIDE. The original write up states 0.5 inch width, but that is inaccurate. "" 14-inch length (each side) and 0.5-inch width Knitted cotton yarn Adjustable slider bead Colorfast, washable, air dry, no bleach Made in the USA""

I bought this retainer because my glasses have spring loaded arms and, despite the fact that I had the nose pads changed to silicone, my glasses were constantly sliding down my nose while playing ball. I was a little concerned that, because the arms on my glasses are pretty small, this retainer might not fit, despite the fact that the description indicates they are for glasses with small arms. However, to my relief, the retainer fits very well and it slides up the arms of my glasses with just enough effort to provide confidence that it will not slip while not being a nuisance to put on. Now, if anything, my glasses are too well retained and it took a while to get used to not pushing them up all the time. Fortunately, the strap is very easy to adjust by sliding the retainer on the back which is very important since you can't be certain that the strap will be installed in exactly the same position every time. All in all I am very pleased with the retainer and I cannot think of any negatives at all. Shop around on Amazon thouhg as I found that, if you don't care about color (I bought a blue one for less than a black one) you might be able to save a few dollars.

This is pretty awesome, fits well, the connector to glasses is expandable to fit my big frame. I can easily adjust the back for snugger or looser fit.My glasses will no longer slip off due to sweat.

These work well for keeping your glasses in place - you can hang them from your neck, or tighten the bead while wearing them to keep them from falling off your face. When shopping for these, get the right diameter to fit the arms of your glasses - the micro size was just right for my sunglasses, but thicker/wider arms may require a wider croakie.

They worked very well. I could look over the bow of a ship and not worry about my glasses falling overboard. Cinch them up and your glasses stay on no matter what activity you're involved in. Being micro does limit the width of temple tips you can use them with.

Parfait ! Bonne longueur et super pratique! Arrivé plus tôt que prévu! Je recommande!

Does not hold my slim frame. The material is not good. Easily poke a hole.

I purchased one 13 years ago in the States and i loved it so much. Now i need one for my teenage son. I googled it and I found it from Amazon. I'm glad to make this purchase.

Good for water sports. I use them on my expensive prescription sunglasses wen sailing or paddle boarding.

Pour mes lunettes merveilleux

keep sunglasses close to hand/ head

excellent...easy to put on and take off and now my glasses stay where they're supposed to...a real plus when I'm weeding in the garden on a hot day
