Yup, those are just about like the chums I never remember to buy. Bet they work great.
Have to say that I did lose a pair of glasses in the surf zone on a bigger day. Got maytagged (multi cycle. LOL!!) pretty well and one of neoprene croakies sleeve evidently did lose it’s grip on one of the earpieces. To be fair, I do trim the earpiece sleeves by at least 1/3 since I find them too long.

Sunglasses & surf
Got a pair of these (prescription)
in the early oughts.
They were supposed to drain well (not so much), and hold on well (sort of).
I’d been through a number of sunglass solutions, finally ended up going w/out in surf.
I still have the habit of going in & out through the surf (or not) w/out them on, then, outside the surf, stop & put them on (as well as my ‘comfy’ shoes) to continue with my ocean paddle trip.
I think ‘Sea-Specs’ (company) is still around.

Oh yes, Croakies & Chums work quite well … when you remember to put the darned things on. I have a pair of glasses somewhere on the bottom of Piddly on the Lower Yough. Something about getting a family raft trip going and then attempting to sidesurf the (rather sticky) hole in a Howler.
I don’t care for Chums and Croakies because they do not tighten down enough for the glasses to be held tight to the head. I prefer Cables or one of their knockoffs. They are wire with plastic sliders. I often use dental tape to tightly whip the rubber tubing to the earpieces. The two pair in the photos aren’t whipped on. When pulled all the way down the glasses are held tight to your head. I put them on all my glasses and have yet to lose a pair. I never take them off my glasses. I am nearsighted so when I want to read, I let my glasses hang from my neck at my collar bone. That way I don’t have to find where I laid them latter.
Opened all the way makes it easier to put your glasses on.
Pulled tight is how I wear them.
And store them in their case.
