Sports Glasses Cords

A floating cord is a type of cord designed specifically for water sports. It is made from a lightweight, buoyant material that allows glasses to remain on the surface of the water if they fall off. Very handy for kayaking, sailing, swimming, or fishing!

• Land sports (running, cycling, hiking): Choose an elastic cord that is durable and has a non-slip system for optimal support.

• Water sports (swimming, kayaking, sailing): Choose a floating cord that is water-resistant and UV-resistant.

• Team sports (basketball, handball, soccer): Choose a reinforced cord, often with a locking or adjustable system for maximum comfort and safety.

For sports use, the length should be adjusted so that it does not get in the way but is long enough to be comfortable. Measure the distance behind your head, as you would for a traditional cord, and choose adjustable models for greater flexibility. All lengths are indicated on our product pages.

Yes, most are hand washable with warm water and mild soap. Avoid tumble drying or harsh chemicals to preserve their elasticity and buoyancy.
