Surf shades used to sell a lanyard that zip-tied onto glasses then went down to a loop around your neck - that had a plastic snap that was also a safety release (if you really snagged them it would pull open).
In 2 years I never lost them on the water!
But I have managed to lose them somewhere on a beach, in my garage, thrown out by mistake ....
Does anyone know of another brand that has a similar attachment system - or does anyone know of a direct way to contact surf shades to see if they will still sell me the lanyard without the glasses? I have to have prescriptions in my glasses, so can't use their sunglasses
Thx!

If you try to go to surfshades.com you are redirected to silverfish.com so perhaps they have taken over surfshades?

Would these work? I'm not sure if you can find them still, but these are the best straps I've ever found and used...
