## Description

Croakiest Solid Eyewear Retainer is the original Croakiest strap designed to protect your eyeglasses or sunglasses. Ideal for activities where glasses may fall off, or simply for holding your glasses when they're not being worn, Croakiest Solid Eyewear Retainer is made from a durable and soft Neoprene fabric to ensure comfortable long-lasting wear.

Review: well made, really work well - I am a sports photographer, I must use these or my glasses would not last one day. Note: These hold the glasses close to your face and are appropriate for those who wear glasses all day long. If you only use reading glasses occasionally during the day get something else. retainer is not very long; perfect for my needs. No slack, nice fit. BTW I have a large head and must wear XXL hats. These still fit nice, they are somewhat adjustable. They remain on the glasses, your glasses won't fall to the floor.
Review: My Croakies from 31 years ago finally gave out ... so I got the same Croakies1 - I had the same Croakies for 31 years (yep, that's not a typo) and they were great. I used them for my sunglasses mostly and often wore them in the water or out skiing/snowboarding. They were still snug, comfortable and pliable after all the time and wear and tear. The only reason I searched for a new strap was because the stitching on the Croakies finally started to come apart because the material was starting to degrade a bit. After buying 2 other sets of eyeglass straps, I was surprised but pleased to see that the new Croakies look just like my old ones ... exactly! And they are made in the USA. Just like with my first pair that I got in my 20s, I have zero complaints about the function, design or comfort of my new Croakies. The profit margin is probably pretty good given the fabric and thread used to make these but well worth how great they are! I look forward to wearing my Croakies into my 80s!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would these fit Oakley Straight Jacket frames?**
A: I don't know what those frames even look like, tho I think you refer to the ends of the ear pieces.  If the ENTIRE ear piece is a thin, straight piece, the Croakie may be too loose.  If it widens at the end for comfort it probably will be fine.  On my frames, it is NOT easy to slide the croakie over the wide end, but once on, they hold as you want them to.  Without the croakie holding the glassed where they belong, I literally could NOT work.

**Q: Heavy medical glasses will it hold them up**
A: I wear very large Aviator style glasses, and the Croakies hold them with no problem.

**Q: What makes these "XL"?  Are they longer or is it that the opening is larger to accommodate a wider/thicker eyeglass temple**
A: The strap is the same length as the standard but it is 1/4" wider, 1" rather 3/4".   But the main difference and reason for getting the XL is that it will accept a larger frame.  I got them because my sunglasses would not go into the standard.

**Q: Is the XL opening available in the 3/4 inch width or is it larger?**
A: The XL opening is not available on the 3/4" strap.  I bought these because the 3/4" would not allow me insert the stems of my sunglasses.
