eBay

Hi guys,

Can anybody tell me the proper name of this gizmo, or at least give me a clue as to what to search for.

It's a kind of substitute for standard spectacle ear pieces. Instead of having arms that loop over your ears, these doofahs have a sort of elasticated band that stretch from one "leg" to the other and hold your specs in place by holding to the back of your head.

Any ideas what these things are called or what name I can search for?

Cheers,

Steve.

OK, found it.
It's not the generic term that I was after but it will do.
I went through all the spectacle listings on eBay until I found these under "Sports Neck Strap Cord" which are the very thing I was looking for.

They're spectacle cords.

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

CD .... I thought Spectacle cords were the things that allow you to drop your specs from your eyes down to your chest level but keeping them easy to locate for when you wanted to put them back on again. These things are a bit different to that.

Correct Steve, in the style of Larry Grayson.
