Chums: the Eyewear Retainer Specialist from Utah

Since 1983, Chums has been the go-to brand for eyewear retainers. It all started on the rivers of Utah, where a rafting guide created a neoprene strap to keep his sunglasses secure in fast-moving water. That simple yet brilliant idea led to the creation of the now-iconic Chums Original Retainer.

Today, the brand offers a full range of eyewear retainers, designed for every use: sports, water activities, outdoor adventures, work environments, or daily wear. Whether neoprene, cotton, adjustable, floating, discreet, or colorful—there’s a Chums retainer for every style and need.

Chums products appeal to a wide customer base: athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, professionals on the go, and everyday users looking for a reliable, functional accessory. With a portion still made in the USA, their quality and durability are proven.
