They're a bit stigmatized nowadays in my opinion but are actually totally convenient and useful.

My preference is Cabl-z, but I have some off brand croakies for lakes and oceans

No. I have bought 2 sets and both dig into my scalp. My sunglasses never fall off anyway so not for me

Real men > men who worry about other men’s sunglasses and sunglasses accoutrements.

My wife got me a leather strap with my initials embossed on it. Use it usually when I’ll still have my sunglasses with me when it gets dark and I have nowhere to put them, like for an LSU game.

I had to look them up. Apparently, they're baw frat straps. Or frat straps for baws.

Literally happened to me about a month ago. Was heading out to Horn Island on a sunny, calm day so we were booking at a pretty good speed.

Passed a regatta of catamarans sailing; turned my head to the right to look at one with a pretty sail design, wind caught my sunglasses and pulled 'em right off---

"FALL IN THE BOAT!!

Nope. Kerplunk! right into the Mississippi Sound.

Looked like an idiot squinting the rest of the day...
