i'm a small guy and I've never had a neck lanyard that would hold up to even getting accidentally snagged as i walk. they break so easilly it seems.
I mean if it was woven paracord or something.. then yeah.. i won;'t wear a neck tie made of steel cable.. but the lil ones that hold an id card or whatever.. they won't hold 3# even.
i've had led flashlighs break them..
if someone ever finds my corps hung on one of those lil id card lanyards.. then I hold no ill will toward the maker..
