SideTracked Magazine Review: Best New Product Under $50 for 2009!
When this product arrived, my husband grabbed it and said, "Holy bleep, this is MINE!" Unlike other straps, the Nextstrap has a double break away system that catches your glasses if they get washed from your head. Designed by 2 kayaking brothers who got tired of losing their expensive sunglasses, you'd think you'd have to pay a small fortune for these. But alas, you'll only drop $10. In addition to catching your glasses, if you get caught by them underwater, the second breakaway sets you free! They are new to the market and catching on quick. Get yours before they get wise and raise their prices! www.nexstraps.com Available in many colors! A gift I'm sure any kayaker you know, doesn't have yet!

Sailing Magazine Review: Glass Strap
Considering the cost of a good pair of sunglasses, it's wise to make sure they stay attached to you, and if your old Croakies aren't up to the task, check out these new NexStraps lanyards. It would take a lot to lose your sunglasses wearing these straps. Unlike other eyewear lanyards that simply fit over the head, the NexStraps have a two-part slide system that creates a second loop that goes around the wearer's neck. Specifically designed for extreme sports, the soft neoprene straps are also designed to float most eyewear, and include a safety breakaway snap. Made by hand in Maine.

Inventors Digest Review: NexStraps
Athletes, outdoorsmen and clumsy 20-somethings can all appreciate the simplicity and functionality of Jeff and Kate Wright's new product, NexStraps. NexStraps were created around one simple concept, says the Web site. "Never lose your eye wear again." The Maine-based Wright family noticed that traditional straps only save your glasses if they fall forward. If they happen to get washed over your head — forget about it. NexStraps uses two breakaway systems to save glasses if they get washed over your head or fall backward. They also have a safety snap that releases glasses in certain situations to prevent the wearer from being choked. They're made out of neoprene, a synthetic rubber that keeps the straps (and glasses) afloat.
