“The leash came with a pair of Guide's Choice (amazing glasses btw) I purchased a couple years back. It held up for roughly a year and a half, but has since pulled through the rubber that holds the brass plug and wire that makes up the leash. I've used a "band geek mafia" method and taped the wire to the rubber (very nice look).
It's kind of a bummer since it's nice to have such a low profile leash that can't be felt when worn. My glasses do get some pretty heavy use, but I had hoped the leash would have lasted a bit longer...maybe I expect too much of a small piece of rubber.”
“I have tried many other brands, but none come close to the fit, style and most importantly the optics of these Smith's. I have 3 pairs of the Guide's Choice. They hold up. They block glare better than any other polarized lens. They fit perfectly. The integrated leash is genius. Don't waste your time shopping another brand. These are the best, period.”
“At first glance, I was skeptical of the retaining power of these integrated leashes. But after wearing them every day for over a month, I've convinced that Smith has produced the sunglass leash I always wanted. Simple to install, they fit seamlessly into the sunglass frame. More importantly to me, they hold the glasses securely when I am indoors, and I don't even notice them when wearing the shades. Unlike other leashes I have tried over the years, they don't get in my way, even when wearing a hoody.
Another win for Smith.”
