Fly Vines gear review for fly fishing Hilton Head
     I am not a big fan of the sunglass retainers that are made of cotton because they soak in sweat and dirt.  Maybe if I only fished in cold weather I might be more inclined to wear this type of lanyard. I am a fly fishing guide in the Hilton Head, South Carolina area and spending a ton of time in the heat makes them get nasty quickly. I wash them all the time and they fall apart quickly for me.  I have been using heavy mono and fly line for a long time and tie nail knots on unto each leg of the sunglasses.  This does do the trick, and have seen many other ways to do this including drilling a hole. Not that long ago I found this company that has a pretty cool idea and environmentally friendly.
Disclaimer:  "I am not endorsed or affiliated with this company in any way."
 I have seen them around for awhile now and thought they had a great idea.
  When I stopped in the Rivers&Glen fly shop in Savannah the other day I had a chance to pick up a couple pairs.  Fly Vines is a company that makes retainers for sunglasses.  They recycle old fly lines and weave the lines together to form the eyewear retainers.  Not only do they look great and not soak up sweat but the recycling aspect is always an appeal seeing I do prefer greener products.  After putting them on my sunglasses I pulled hard and they did release from the sunglasses, but did not break the integrity of lanyard.  I am excited to be rocking these green products this summer and will keep you posted if there are any changes to my recommendations.
