I used both types back when I did a lot of kayaking. I prefered the first style (although I never used any so elaborate as the example you show), because that didn't alter the way my glasses interacted with my head. The second style added extra width to the stems which added pressure to my ears and after a while my ears started to feel really sore.

Didn't even know these existed but I need a set now !!! I'm sick of my glasses falling off when I'm working on my motor or bike or whatever else I'm fiddling with.
So... Cheers for the heads up & where do I get some ?

Thanks

I've ordered simple ear pieces for now, for daily use (I hope they will be ok) and i'll then order the first one as you suggested for other activities

Depending on the thickness of the arms of your glasses my father and I decided to drill a hole in the arm and use a knot to tie the string on, hasn't broken yet and can't fall off. It's a bit of a heath robinson approach but it works.

I assume contact lenses are out of the question for the activity you are doing?

There's nothing quite like having peripheral vision!
