    Actually we can get any length you want in nylon webbing or rope 
lanyards. The prices are about what is already available (i.e. 4-foot rope 
with double-locking snap hooks on both ends for thirty-four bucks). 

    These are also fully OSHA compliant. 

    A new lanyard that isn't on the website yet uses 1.75" wide nylon webbing 
one-foot long and has double-locking snap hooks on each end. I use mine all 
the time - it's just perfect for holding you close to a mast or leg without 
wrapping your too-long lanyard around several times. It's immensely handy.
