Good sunglasses strap?

So I jumped in and bought a decent pair of Oakleys as I decided I needed the extra wrap and wanted some better quality optics to enjoy the views :) but now I’m more paranoid about sitting on them…

I’ve been looking at neck straps, but none are standing out – anyone got a favourite they can recommend?

I am a die hard Oakley fan and my Flak Jackets are a permanent fixture on my head. I actually just picked up my first strap for them so I would lose them backpacking. I ended up picking up the one from Gossamer Gear and love it. The part that sits around your neck king of opens up and acts as a lens cleaning cloth or as an actual full protective cover for the glasses. It’s actually very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend checking it out.

Chums. Washable and last for years.

Another vote for Chums. The thickness is just right. I like the promise of the lens cleaning cloth and protection of the microfiber wraps but they will be sweaty and dirty. I’d never clean my glasses with them. I think this is a situation where I’m ok with a unitasker.

Cheap enough to just have a go at – thanks for the feedback. Ordered a pair in a fetching real tree camo pattern – first one I’ve seen with flowers on it, sort like like Hawaiian shirt meets Rambo :)
