Sunglasses That Stay Put, All Day
The Chums Kids Universal 3mm Retainer is the simple, proven solution to lost sunglasses. A slim 3mm cord connects to both temples with rubber end-connectors that grip the frame tips securely, then loops around the back of the neck so glasses hang safely when kids pull them off. Whether they are surfing, playing on the beach, or running around camp, the retainer keeps a pair of shades within reach and off the ground.
Universal Fit for Kids' Frames
The "Universal" designation means the rubber end-connectors stretch to fit most standard kids' temple widths without tools or modifications. The adjustable cord length lets you dial in a comfortable hang position. Chums engineered the end-connectors to grip without scratching frames, so the retainer works equally well on plastic or metal temples.
Chums Quality
Chums invented the eyewear retainer category and has been refining the design for decades. The 3mm cord is lightweight and flexible, staying out of the way during activity while remaining strong enough for everyday use. The Chums logo appears on the cord lock at the back, a mark of the brand that set the standard for keeping eyewear secure.
