Chums vs Croakies for whitewater: consensus leans toward Chums for flotation
I've used both Chums and Croakies while kayaking and rafting. The Chums are better because they actually float your glasses if they come off. I had a pair of Croakies that said 'floating' but my glasses sank immediately. With Chums, they stayed on top. Get the black neoprene ones if you want low-profile, or the bright colors for visibility.
Kayak fishing community recommends Chums for floating security
I've been using the Chums Floating Neo for over a year in saltwater. They hold up well and definitely float. Make sure you get the floating version—the regular cotton ones don't float. I've knocked my glasses off several times and they just float next to the kayak. Cheaper than losing $200 Costas.
SUP user loses sunglasses, switches to Chums after recommendation
I just dumped my sunglasses in the middle of the lake and they're gone. Looking for floating retainer recommendations. Most comments suggest Chums... I got the Chums Original Cotton ones and tested them in a sink—they float! They feel a little bulky but work great on the water.
Ray-Ban Meta user finds Chums Lens Leash fits well but requires adjustment
I got the Chums Lens Leash for my Wayfarers. The silicone loops are snug on the thick arms. It's comfortable enough for all-day wear, but I wish the slider was a bit tighter—it loosens up after a while. Still, it's saved my glasses twice when they slipped off my face.
SUP community discussion: Chums vs generic straps, Chums praised for durability
I've been through a few cheap straps that broke. Chums have held up for over a year of regular SUP use. The neoprene is showing some wear but still floats. I like the adjustable bead—fits my small frames and my boyfriend's chunky ones. Worth the extra few bucks.
