[REQ] Spectacles band?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a band you can attach to your glasses to stop them dropping off your face? I don't mean the bands that attach to your glasses that prevent them from falling if/when they drop off your face. I mean something tight that would keep them on your face at all times. I sweat a lot when working and my glasses slip off.....sorry if this is not strictly appropriate for Bargain Alerts but I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks

A good sports shop like Great Outdoors should have what you need. Sweat shouldn't make your glasses fall off though - are you sure they fit properly? Go back to your opticisn snd get them checked, they should be able to adjust the fit easily.

When I sweat, I really sweat and they start slipping off especially when I look down. They're fine the rest of the time though.

The arms and especially the tangs(?) that go behind the ears should hold them on, sweat or no sweat? I test fit by shaking my head vigorously. What happens when you do this when you're not sweaty? Do they fly off?

No movement when not sweating and shaking head vigorously

Great Outdoors then! Large opticians may have them too. Basically a neoprene-type band with tubes that slip over end of spec arms.

I got something like this for orienteering & general sports, I think it might be just the thing you are looking for. I bought mine in a pharmacy.

they look more along the lines of what I'm looking for...how much were they?

jc7

3 or 4 euro.

The one I bought was more of an elastic-type band and has kept the specs always.

The one I referred to is a lot cooler than that. Note 'cooler' <> 'less sweat'! Probably more.
