Review: Well made - Looks well made. My eyeglasses went into the retainer snugly which it should. Fits fine as you can see in pics. This is the brown color and goes fine with my glasses. Strap lays down in the back and does not protrude or stick out. Glasses lay just above the chest area. Happy with purchase.
