Cheap plastic sunglasses are under that, most polarised sports models are over it, and anything with metal is well over. If your glasses are heavy, buy a foam filled retainer or one with a bobber. The physics behind it is simply <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Buoyancy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">how much water the strap displaces<\/a>, and no amount of marketing changes it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fit beats flotation<\/strong>: The best outcome is that the glasses never leave your face. An adjustable strap pulled snug does that, and then buoyancy never gets tested. Straps with a slider bead or adjustable hardware are worth the extra dollar or two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colour<\/strong>: Bright orange, green or yellow shows up on the surface, black does not. This is the cheapest feature to get right and the one most often ignored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multipack or single<\/strong>: If your sunglasses are cheap, buy a multipack and put a strap on every pair. If they cost more than the board bag, buy the single foam filled retainer and stop thinking about it.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Will a floating strap hold up any sunglasses?<\/h3>No. Classic neoprene straps float about 15 grams of eyewear, which covers light plastic frames only. Heavier polarised or metal frames need a foam filled retainer or a strap with a separate bobber. Weigh your glasses on a kitchen scale if you are unsure.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Do these fit prescription glasses?<\/h3>Most do. The tube or sleeve ends fit almost any frame arm, and the stretch woven straps grip thin arms better than wide neoprene ones. Very thick arms on some sports frames are the exception, and there the wider neoprene sleeves work better.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">How long do they last in salt water?<\/h3>A good neoprene strap lasts several seasons if you rinse it. Cheap multipack straps last a season or two before the elastic tires or the stitching pulls. UV is what kills them, so store them out of the sun rather than on the dashboard.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Is a strap or a hard case better?<\/h3>Both, for different moments. A strap keeps the glasses on you while you paddle, a case protects them in the bag afterwards. Losing sunglasses on the water and crushing them in a dry bag are two separate problems.<\/div>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>For most people the Chums classic is the right buy: proven, comfortable and cheap. If your sunglasses are the expensive polarised sort, step up to the DriftFish foam retainer, or the Neckz with its bobber if the frames are heavy metal ones.<\/p>\n<p>If there are four pairs of sunglasses in your household, the Decker eight pack solves the whole problem for about ten dollars. Whichever you pick, set the length short so the glasses stay on your face, and keep the rest of your kit tethered too, starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/best-waterproof-watches-for-paddle-boarding\/\">the watch on your wrist<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunglasses sink fast, and they sink the moment you look down at the water.
