It still bugs me that somewhere beneath the Atlantic off Tybee Island in Georgia, my Versace sunglasses are lodged forever.
But no more mishaps for me since I discovered the CHUMS floating retainer could be the simple solution to that awful nightmare.
Simply thread a chumbuoy through a floating retainer (via two holes) and voila you’ll never be separated from those beloved sunglasses!
Four stylish retainers include the glassfloat classic (cloth), universal fit glassfloat (rope), floating neo and neo megafloat (neoprene), all available in a colorful range that makes for easy recovery if they fall into the water. The foam chumbuoy will keep eyewear up to 1 ½ ounces afloat.
We’ve tried all of the floaters, but the Florida waters have been kind to us so far, although I was scared out of my wits while kayaking on Cracker Creek in Daytona Beach and came close to testing its floating mettle. I almost slammed into a 10-foot alligator, but managed to veer to his right and escaped his wrath, phew!
The inherent eyewear company revered by just about any outdoor enthusiast for its trademark cotton eyewear retainer has joined forces with CHISCO, another Utah outdoor specialist, famous for their double wraparound action sports watchband. Together they will anchor the biggest manufacturer and distributor of outdoor accessories.
The Chisco arm of the company has some cool items suitable for the active outdoors enthusiast. Hanging on to keys is easy as 1-2-3 with the FLOATING NEO (basic keychain) and FLOATING KEYCHAIN (wristband style) if they end up in the water. But my personal favorite is the FLOATING MARSUPIAL as it’s great for stashing ID and cash and it is a floating keyring too.
We are planning trips to Honduras and Costa Rica and our CHUMS and CHISCO pals will be with us whether we are whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling or just hanging out at the hot springs.
Look for CHUMS and CHISCO in boutiques or big retailers across the United States and several locations around the world.
