The best thing about these keepers is the leather cord. Light and flexible, it goes where you want it and you hardly notice it's there. In that sense, this version is better than the older, braided leather keepers they used to have. Another good thing is that the cord is longer than others I've seen/used. This is nice because my head and neck are a larger than most and the length minimizes restrictions when I raise and lower my reading glasses. Perhaps like an earlier reviewer, the only reason I don't give these a 5-star rating is because of the relative lack of durability of the grips. The thin wire rings on the cord ends can cut and pull through the grips rendering the keepers pretty much useless. A redesign of the way the cord is attached to the grips is needed.
I love the grip on these glasses keeper. Now, I can finally keep track of my readers.
I am probably a lot more brutal on my "Peeper Keepers" than most people, but I'm thinking that a stirrup-shape instead of a ring-shaped metal connector between leather strap and gripper would last longer. That having been said, I like it enough that I just bought another one.
Those peeper keepers are the best... The way they fit on your glasses is the best. I am a Dentist and I use them on my magnification loops. They stay in place and don't get in the way.
