The retainer that started it all, way back in 1983. The idea for the Original Cotton Chums was born on the river by a crafty raft guide who was tired of seeing clients lose their sunglasses to the rapids of the Colorado River. Living in the back of a VW van, that raft guide used a $60 sewing machine to create the very first Chums retainers.
Fast forward to today and this product is still manufactured in the USA! Made from soft, durable, lightweight 100% Cotton that will slide easily onto a wide variety of frames and features an adjustable bead for a comfortable and secure fit. Hang with your Chums and be equipped for any adventure.

Morning, just a quick background. I have been wearing Chums since 1979 , college at UNLV , friends in Boulder City , skiing on Lake Mead . My recent order I asked for 2 pair of 4 different colors and you sent 8 pairs of neon yellow . The send to address came up as my son’s address in Washington, I E-mailed you, that was the wrong address and to send it to my billing address and it still went to Washington. Not to happy with my process what do I do with 8 pairs of yellow? I have kept my torn retainers and have over40 pairs hanging as I LOVE them , please let me know if I need to send them back or what , thank you , Don

Absolutely love them

I first bought eyes glasses chums many years ago and absolutely love them, I use to find them everywhere, but it's been getting hard to find until someone mentions that I can order them on line, I was so happy I ended up buying 3 of them......

Eyeglasses keepers that work

I tried many types of eyeglasses keepers/strings previously and gave them all up. They fell off the glasses; they were cumbersome; they were unreliable… So, I bought more disposable readers (that’s what I use my Chums for now). All of which I’d lose or forget - until I bought these Chums. Haven’t lost or bought a new pair of readers in months. :)

Found these on the beach.

Am not disappointed! The only question I have relates to the glasses which were attached to the retainer. Does anyone know why a pair of sunglasses would have a patch at the bottom that is blurry, possibly prescription. Like, I thought it might be magnifying but it's not!

Love,
Harold

Thank you for leaving a review for our Chums Original! As for the glasses attached to the retainer, it's possibly maginification or perscription for reading glasses. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're always happy to help!

These are great. Easy to put on glasses and they actually stay on my glasses. I also love the softness and all the fun colors.

Large is still too small

I love the quality of Chums, but the large size is still too small to fit onto Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses. Jamming them on bends, and nearly breaks, the temples of my glasses. Please make an extra large version.

Thank you for your feedback on our Chums Original product. We are sorry to hear that the large size is still too small for your sunglasses. We take customer satisfaction seriously and will definitely take your request into consideration. Thank you for your support and for bringing this to our attention.

Chums retainers are the best!

The last retainer I had lasted over 2 years. Purchased 2 more and will purchase more. Chums is my only 'go to' brand from now on. Very reasonable price as well. Thanks!

Great Product!

I bought my original chums glass strap about 20 years ago, recently I noticed the strap was starting to fall apart, didn’t know what brand it was, but looked at a tag at the end of the strap to find the name. These lasted longer that I could have imagined, I ordered two of them so I could put them on my second pair of sunglasses. These are incredible, I would highly recommend them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our Chums Original glass strap! We are thrilled to hear that it has lasted you 20 years. Thank you for being such a loyal customer.

I've been using Chums originals since the 1990s after trying all of them out there, including the librarian types. I have an artificial eye and don't like bifocals so I use three types of glasses: regular, prescription polarized sunglasses, and prescription readers. I'm always wearing one with another around my neck with Chums. I recently discovered Chums makes the original style with smaller openings to hold my glasses tighter, more secure. I bought two. It's a huge pain when I lose them. Other types loosen. Chums DON'T. Great product.

Thank you for taking the time to review, David! We love that the Chums Original has been helping you hang on since the 90s. It means a lot for us to hear!

Pleased with my Chum Originals!

I initially ordered a regular size for my eyeglass arms which I found was too large. I contacted Chums, and they explained I should have ordered a small for my eyeglass arms. They were nice enough to send me a sample which fit perfectly! Customer Service was extremely helpful in solving my size issue. I have since ordered 3 more. Thank you, Chums!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're always happy to help out.
