By: Craig Randall For 2011, Chums has teamed up with pioneering women’s outdoor apparel designer and Isis co-founder Poppy Gall to develop a variety of fresh accessories including eyewear retainers, key chains, and clip bottle holders. Poppy Gall, owner and creative director of Poppy Gall Design Studio, is known for her keen sense of detail and melding contemporary patterns with traditional aesthetics. Look no further than the twelve Chums Neoprene Classic retainers, the Original Cotton Chum, Key Rings, Key Keepers, watchbands and water bottle holders redone in Poppy’s artistic, colorful, and contemporary sublimated patterns. Chums’ Neoprene Classic is the industry standard in eyewear retainers and a favorite of river runners and watermen. It’s quick-drying, comfortable, durable, lightweight, and easily adaptable. The collaboration of Chums & Poppy Gall Design Studio brings renewed life to this classic retainer with trim, lower profile neoprene and vibrant new designs. The new lock-stitched end fits over a wide variety of temple ends and can be snugged up for a tighter fit. Now offered in Poppy’s patterns, the Neoprene will help boaters and anglers make a splash without even touching the water. MSRP is $6.99. A sublimated poly version of the easily adjustable Chums Original retainer - the product that put Chums on the map - has also been updated with Poppy Gall patterns.

This made in the USA eyeglass retainer has it all: quality, comfort and the ability to fit most standard frames. MSRP is $7.99.
