Glasses Neck cords

Apr 01, 2014 5 Replies

The arms on my specs are fairly uniform in cross section. When I use a traditional neck cord it tend to slip off the arms. If I use sports neck cord , the arms are attached to the cord using a neoprene sleeve with the cord ( with a boot lace end fitting ) pushed one end of the sleeve and the arm of the specs in the other, this again relies on friction and again tends to fail with the cord pulling out of the neoprene



Anyone know of a better solution ? The right sort of glue in the sleeve perhaps ?.

I have some where there is a small rubber block, with a slit in it, that pushes over the arm. The cord is attached to a hole in that. A bit more obtrusive but works well.

Different frames? I have a pair designed for sports use that come with their own strap and a quick, easy and secure attachment built in.

Double loop the original flexi attachment? I think my neck cord came from Specsavers and has a stretchy plastic bit to go over the frame arms. When this overstretches, I just loop it twice over the arm.

You may have a bit of difficulty removing them though...

Thank you kind Sir, that works a treat
