The arms on my specs are fairly uniform in cross section. When I use a
traditional neck cord it tend to slip off the arms. If I use sports
neck cord , the arms are attached to the cord using a neoprene sleeve
with the cord ( with a boot lace end fitting ) pushed one end of the
sleeve and the arm of the specs in the other, this again relies on
friction and again tends to fail with the cord pulling out of the
neoprene

Anyone know of a better solution ? The right sort of glue in the
sleeve perhaps ?.

I have some where there is a small rubber block, with a slit in it, that
pushes over the arm. The cord is attached to a hole in that. A bit more
obtrusive but works well.

Different frames? I have a pair designed for sports use that come with
their own strap and a quick, easy and secure attachment built in.

Double loop the original flexi attachment? I think my neck cord came
from Specsavers and has a stretchy plastic bit to go over the frame
arms. When this overstretches, I just loop it twice over the arm.
