Juliet/Romeo 2/Half X Ear Stem Leashes

[johnb6597]

Yes, I know it's blasphemy here, but please have pity on an old soul and OF FNG...my wife used a 3rd-party/aftermarket leash on her Juliets for years until we lost the whole kit-n-kaboodle about 5 months ago. She likes the extra peace of mind and safety they provide in case they fall forward off her face or her hair. I've recently replaced the Juliets, but am clueless about what leashes work best with them. She bought her original leash in Hawaii in 2010, so it's not like I can just go back to the same vendor/retailer for a replacement. Same question for Romeo 2 and Half X...best leash(es) for them, and source? Any and all help is appreciated, as always.

Oakley makes a leash
Sort of a hassle as it has a wire type structure.

Thanks, Nucchem...I saw those online, but haven't found any consumer reviews that offer insight into how well they work for the vintage X-Metal frames. I suppose I could drop $25 for one large and one small to test them for myself, but thought I would check here first in case folks have specific experience with and advice for leashes they've used and work with Juliets, Romeo 2s, Half Xs.

Will this fit the juliet or r1? If it does would it not come off easily?

I have not used them for xmetal.
I used it for ski glasses, Oakley of course.
I did not like that it did not sit flat on your neck/back when worn.
To wire-ish.
If I can grab some time I will photo a demo Friday, if I can find my “leash”

Is that the large or small Oakley leash?

I'm pretty positive these are the large

As can be seen this is what I mentioned.
Sticks out like wire instead of laying flat.
Annoying with ski gear on!
