Critical review. Great for original Wayfarer frames. Thank you

Critical review. Great for original Wayfarer frames. Thank you
First time buying this brand. At first I was a little disappointed because when they first they arrived they would not slide on the ear pieces of my black frame "Blues Brothers" Ray-Ban Wayfarer frames of my eyeglasses. So I looked them over and couldn't find any defects in workmanship the stitching that I could see was actually very nicely done with the correct thread and correct upper/lower machine tension. So I gently slid the ends that go over the ear pieces over a hard plastic toothbrush handle almost the same size as the Wayfarer frame just a little smaller. When I slid each side over the plastic handle I noticed that what was stopping them from going on was glue inside of the openings which is not a big deal in fact it shows me the manufacturer is not afraid to use enough glue for the job. So now I clean my wayfarers with lemon pledge like I always have and wipe them clean. The retainer went onto the ear pieces perfectly not too tight not too loose just right the second try. So far they feel pretty good they keep my eyeglasses from falling off my face leaning down, they work great on a motorcycle, and I think they are going to do the job just fine for me. I would like to see if they have a design similar to another brand I have used in the past because I like the craftsmanship and quality of the retainer. Thank you very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best for Thinner Temple Tips
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I bought these to keep my sports-style sunglasses from falling off my head. Compared to other eyewear retainers I have used, I found the Chums version to be tighter and harder to fit onto glasses with thicker temple tips. After some patience, I was able to get them on. In one sense, this snug fit ensures the glasses will not fall out of the retainer strand. In another sense, the snug fit makes it difficult to get the retainer on far enough to ensure the sunglasses do not fall out of the retainer with any bit of resistance. These are good quality, the right length, and usable, but the one glaring issue I have with them might be a deal-breaker for others.

Put this on a pair of Oakley Radars. I prefer having them cover almost the full temple as pictured. Initially I couldn't get them past the temple tips but then realized that the Radar temples had a removable synthetic sheath. Removed them & complete full installation ensued as I had envisioned. Happy with the result.
