Introducing the new and improved Adjustable Orbiter, the golden child of the Orbiter family. Y’all loved the adjustment capability so much that we decided to make it even easier and smoother. Snug these babies up and they will lockdown your glasses with a steel grip (stainless steel) then loosen them right back up to let your glasses rest around your neck.
I am a surgeon who received these with my order of surgical loupes. Many surgeons use the original Chums to keep their loupes snugly in place while operating. I was excited to see these sleekly designed stainless steel orbiters as an alternative to the typical cotton retainer. The ends fit my loupes just fine, and the orbiter is very lightweight. Unfortunately, even at the tightest setting, a gap remains between the orbiter and my head. As a result, my loupes can jiggle around and slide down my nose while I’m operating. Chums, please make a shorter version of the adjustable orbiter! I would have loved using these but had to fall back on the original retainer model.

Breaks
These broke after 1 day of minimal use, just terrible

Broke too soon; warranty is poor
They broke too soon, and I'm not a heavy user. The warranty appears to be 60 days. I probably will buy something from another manufacturer.

Love them
I was using a beaded chain I bought online and the grippers kept sliding off the stems of the glasses. Irritating! So I bought these and love the lightweight material and all that slipping and sliding nonsense - gone! Unfortunately I lost my glasses at the beach, but I ordered 2 new chums so that I will have a backup in case that happens again. Great product!
