Chums Realtree Eyeglass Retainers and Accessories

 

Quality eyewear isn’t cheap. So don’t risk losing or breaking yours when you can protect them with Realtree camo CHUMS eyeglass retainers. The eyeglass retainers are worn by sportsmen and women around the world as they fish, hike, hunt, bike, waterski, kayak, raft, snow ski and participate in many other outdoor activities.

 

CHUMS was founded in 1983 by Mike Tagget, who came up with the idea for the original CHUMS retainer while working as a guide on the Colorado River. After continually watching his clients lose their sunglasses to the bottom of the Colorado, he was struck with an idea. Tagget moved to Hurricane, Utah, with a $60 sewing machine and some fabric. He spent his days inventing and perfecting the Original Cotton CHUM, while living out of a VW van and a boathouse. But slowly, his idea manifested and soon production was taking off. Within a year, major distributors like Swatch were placing orders. CHUMS now has three offices and more than 75 employees and produces thousands of unites in its original factory.  

 

CHUMS continues to innovate and expand its customer base with its Realtree eyeglass retainers and products, which provide the convenience and security outdoor enthusiasts want and need during their time in the woods and on the water.
