Ray and I bought the CU belay glasses and I want to share oue experience so far and let folks know how much we like them.

We've only used them for two weeks but for the first time in several years I have gone over a week without neck pain. I haven't been able to sleep on a pillow in years because even a slight angle hurts my neck (after suffering from a bulging disc in 2006). But this last week I have been using my pillow again with no pain (which is huge! Sleeping without a pillow is no fun). Ray says his neck is significantly better too and that it doesn't feel sore after a day of climbing anymore.

So anyone out there suffering from neck pain or even beginning to feel neck strain, I really suggest buying the CUs. They take a little getting used to but at this point I'll never belay without them. They are pricey....but so are doctors visits, neck pillows, a new bed, massage chair, home traction device, and all the other things I know we've bought in the past many years for pain relief. Not to mention the downtime from injury and the "cost" to get back in shape.

So if you see me out at the cliff and want to try them out, feel free to ask. These things are great!

Ill definitely take you up on that offer to try them out. Thanks!

how bout just a date?

Thanks Michelle, I gotta check this out.... chronic neck pain for years now! Is there an American supplier or do you have to order from Europe?

A friend of ours has 2 pairs for her family and they love them. You may look a bit silly wearing them but they do work pretty well.

We were talking about these Sunday. Thanks for the link.

which pair do you have?

I borrowed a pair and tried them once. They work really well. Gotta get some.

Michelle, do they affect your vision after taking them off?
IE does it take a while for you to see normally after wearing them?
