Review: I recently had eye surgery and was given a pair of over glasses sunglasses to wear. The arms aggravated my ears and I though would see if I could find a 'keeper' for them made out of cotton. I went back into my own storage and found a chums white retainer from the 80s, no kidding! It worked fine, but is showing its age so I searched for Chums and found this set that I could get easily in Canada (I know you can go to the company in the US, but the shipping is expensive). Happily, these did the trick. I am stuck in these shades for another 3 weeks so I am happy to have found something that helps with the pressure point. Nice work, Chums, you make excellent stuff.
Review: I bought the EV Green and it is bright! Love it. A nice hack for people with smaller frames, as mine were wire frames(very small), wrap some painters tape around the frames toward the last two inches and these won’t slide off very easily and the painters tape won’t damage your glasses frame or leave any sticky residue. Works perfectly!

## 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
