Will the Wetlands color fade in the sun?

Troubleshooting
Retainer feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the sliding bead to increase or decrease the tension. Ensure the bead is positioned to hold the temple tips securely without causing discomfort.
Sunglasses slip off despite using the retainer.
Ensure the temple tips are fully inserted into the retainer loops and that the bead is tightened sufficiently. Check if the temple tips are compatible with the retainer's design.
Retainer material feels sticky or uncomfortable.
