The retainer that started it all, way back in 1983. The idea for the Original Cotton Chums was born on the river by a crafty raft guide who was tired of seeing clients lose their sunglasses to the rapids of the Colorado River. Living in the back of a VW van, that raft guide used a $60 sewing machine to create the very first Chums retainers.

Fast forward to today and this product is still manufactured in the USA! Made from soft, durable, lightweight 100% Cotton that will slide easily onto a wide variety of frames and features an adjustable bead for a comfortable and secure fit. Hang with your Chums and be equipped for any adventure.
