Hands Down

Looking to buy this retainer again but not out of need. I’ve had the same one for about 9 years and it’s still going strong. A little faded on the sunny side but still working great. I’ve tried all the other and materials…these just work. Period. Hats off!

Thank you so much for your kind words and loyalty to the Switchback! We're glad to hear that it has served you well for the past 9 years. We take pride in creating durable and effective retainers, and we're happy to know that it's still going strong for you. If you ever need a replacement or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate your support.

So rad

Pro tip, flip them upside down and they stay off your kneck. Great if you don’t have a sun hoody on and don’t mind looking a little bro-ish. Got 2 pair, new go-to’s.

We're glad you like the Switchback! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, KB!

Nice material but keeps sliding off my glasses and twisting in the opposite direction while wearing.

We value your input and will take this into consideration for future improvements. If you haven't already, please reach out to our customer service team for assistance with finding a better fit for your glasses. Thank you!

Does the job, looks good, comfortable, durable

Bought my first silicone retainer in 2019 and it still looks new! Ordered 3 more in 2022 for my family and myself just recently.
It’s durable: has lasted in a variety of conditions and climates- mostly sweaty temps and lots of water exposure, no fading of color
Comfortable: is not so large that it hurts the area where it rests on the ears, fits a variety size of glasses- wearing them with massive sunglasses and small eye glasses
Looks good: it’s a simple silicone, small but not so small you cannot find your strap/glasses in your purse/backpack or beach bag, it’s noticeable when you’re looking for it
Silicone is easy to clean and does not retain moisture for even a second like the cotton or neoprene materials- i might be in sweaty conditions but i don’t want a wet material against my neck or head so this is a pro for me.
Recommend. Wish they had more colors (pink, purple, white trio for instance, a mint/teal/aqua, cheetah)

I love these but...

I love these switchback retainers but they keep splitting where they fit the end of the Costa sunglass arms. Very frustrating.

Worth it

Forgot to mention that I originally bought these because they dont pull your hair. From a mans perspective

Worth it

This is my second pair. First pair lasted about 3 to 4 years. They were sliding off of my coastas so invested in 2 more. Hand me down to womens aviator coastas with fatter ends .. reccomend

Got this before a May trip to Utah's big 5. Was not disappointed. Use everyday, I would recommend to everyone.

Exceptional Product, Exceptional Service

Had been using one of these Switchbacks since 2017 when it finally gave out. Ordered two more just recently because I found the product exceeded my expectations, lasting four years of abuse at my hands. Switchback is super product that I use on wide Rayban frames. And when I received the two most recently one was not the color I ordered. A simple email and Chums had the correct one on the way, telling me to keep the one sent in error. Not often you find a company with customer service having a true interest in getting it right.

Lo mejor, de lo mejor

He tenido varias eyewear retainer de marca chums, de tela, de alambre, de neopreno, pero la mejor es esta de plastico silicona, muy resistente, comoda, confortable, segura, ademas con el sudor no se mancha como las de tela, o rozan como las de alambre, esta no se apesta como las de tela o neopreno, soy corredor de larga distancia y cuando los llevo puestos no los siento, son super ligeros, mis gafas van muy seguras cuando me las quito entrando la noche y cualgan en mi cuello y sigo correindo y sin problemas. Tengo 3 de estas mismas de plastico silicona, una negra, otra negra con gris y una naranja. simplemente lo mejor para tener los lentes por horas.

Awesome Grip without feeling it

Simply awesome! they grip my glasses like glue, no annoying neck rubbing or sticking to face mask, no tangling, just perfect!

Switchback for the outback

I like the fact that they are silicon and they don't stick to the Velcro on my face mask.

Good to go!

These are so much better than CROAKIES. They're a lot more durable and I highly recommend them.
