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.
