Glasses retainers / strap advice please

kenpachi

Hello sailing people,
I hope the mods don't move this as it's kind of urgent and I think I could get some great advice in here.

I need to get some retainers/strap for my glasses ASAP and from reading online, sailing seems to pop up quite a lot so I figured some of you guys would have some great suggestions for me.

I actually need them for a concert I'm going to and having broken a pair of glasses at a Metallica concert in the past, I need to keep my glasses on while jumping around and headbanging

Contact lenses are out of the question due to time constraints so glasses and retainers it is.
I would rather keep it below 20 euro if possible.

So do any of you guys have any suggestions of brands or types to buy or stay away from?

Any specific design types that don't work?

Cord? Neoprene?

I'm really lost with this, they all look great online but real life experiences would be great.

I really hope you guys can help me and thank you for reading.

Having done a little head banging myself I would suggest that a bought solution is not going to have the grip when you really get going.

I've used ordinary string tied tightly just ahead of the moulded ear pieces, if they're metal frames, will keep them in place. Tie one side then the other and make it tight fitting around your head. The beauty of string is you can pull your hair over it and it's mostly unseen.

I wouldn't mind seeing Metallica it would make me feel like a teenager again
Enjoy.

Thanks for the replies, I think I will buy 1 or 2 of those linked to that marine website.

String or that shrink tube stuff that shrink's wen u heat it mite be the best option though.

We will see
