Back in the 50’s a designer took the innovative step of creating swimsuits out of neoprene. This material has the unusual quality of retaining water. Soon after many other designers embraced his idea and started making clothes out of this revolutionary material. Lanyards factories started manufacturing Neoprene wetsuit lanyards to supply the new market that was created. Let’s examine further why neoprene wetsuit lanyards are so effective:
- They are very stretchy which means that they add another level of durability and on top of that they open the possibilities for new usages. Lifeguards use them for their rescue cans and surfboarders use them for their boards. Unlike a rigid material, neoprene provides a more natural feel. Because they are stretchy workers prefer them over the conventional lanyards because they are safer to be worn when operating a heavy machine. In case the lanyard gets caught, because it is flexible it will brake, in comparison to the non flexible lanyard which would definitely cause a terrible accident.
- They float! This makes them perfect for water sports. A lifeguard wants his lanyard that is attached to his rescue can to float. A swimmer wants the lanyard from his goggles to be waterproof and to float. Neoprene wetsuit lanyards meet all those needs.
- It is light and comfortable. Runners and bicyclists want that every accessory they use to be as light and as flexible as possible and if it’s an accessory that is attached on their bodies, like a wrist lanyard or eye glasses lanyard then it should not be too lose as well as not too tight, it just needs to fit their bodies and not make them uncomfortable while they run or ride their bikes.
