The NexStrap sunglasses straps from NexStep Products are comfortable and safe.

When I first got my new pair of polarized sunglasses, I searched for a sunglasses retainer that would be comfortable and wouldn’t annoy the hell out of my while I was trying to focus on fishing. I thought it didn’t exist until NexStep Products sent me a few of their NexStraps. If you’re in the same boat as me and didn’t find anything, stop looking. These are the sunglass holders you’ve been waiting for.

The neoprene construction makes the NexStraps, $11.99, super soft, but it also means that they float, keeping your sunglasses at the surface if you ever drop them in the drink. As soon as you start wearing the NexStrap though, you won’t have to worry about losing them again. The security of a sunglass retainer is doubled with another loop of neoprene that goes around your neck, like a necklace. Now even if the strap wasn’t tighted and your glasses fall off your face, they’ll hang comfortable around your neck.

The dual-slide adjustment is simple to use and makes it easy to fit snug around your head, without forming any weird pressure point. The NexStep patented snap-piece attachment means that you can snap the straps on and off around your head or neck, but they will also break-away instead of choking you out. Each NexStrap is handbuilt in the NexStrap Denver, Colorado factory.

There are many different styles and lengths of NexStrap Products' NexStraps.
