What are my fellow corporate drones using to wear their ID badge around their neck?
I don't want the usual nylon ribbon, but I don't know what I want. |

This.. breakaway with reel combo so I don't have to lean down to hit door access panels.

I DESPISE those things. Watched a guy at a large colo site hook one around a server rail end and a heavy ass USC chassis and pin himself. Not break away. Big dude, pretzeled his ass right up.
I use the retractible type PLUS a clip to hold it to my weak side pocket. Losing them sucks and it prevents them from flapping around. Looks more professional.

I clip it on my belt so people have to look at my junk. Ha! I was at a trade show a few months ago, everyone had a badge with their contact info on it hanging from a lanyard. At one booth while a woman was staring at my badge I said, "Excuse me, my eyes are up here." She looked shocked at first then burst out laughing. I told her I had wanted to say that to a woman my whole life.

Whatever you get, just make sure it is the break away kind. I can't keep it beat into the heads of the folks that order ours to get damn break-aways. Why breakaway? Get in lots of fights at the office? I learned it working corners, responding to broken down, crashed, or burning race cars. Getting into fights is such a minor concern. There are many other reasons than that. |

This. Except on Nov 10th. Then I have a USMC lanyard. |

Get in lots of fights at the office? I suppose it depends on your work environment. But I'm having a difficult time coming up with a reason why you should avoid a breakaway. If you work around machinery of the "OMG it spins" variety then it's a must. I use a breakaway because I know for a fact that there are people out there that would love nothing more than to have the opportunity to use my lanyard as a garrote against me. Eta: don't know who made mine. Got it at a pilot store. I've had it a long time and never plan on changing it. I get tons of the free, stretchy ones from the company and ALPA but I never like those. This one is tough, breakaway, has a qd clip, a swivel, and the spring clip. Everything I need. Attached File |

I wear mine on a retractable cord clipped to my belt. I used to do this until we had to move them up above the waistline for some sexual harassment thing. We're required to have them around our necks because the security guards hated having to look down. I need a breakaway. |
| I use an EK break-away lanyard and badge holder from Specialist ID. |
| Back in the days when I had to wear a badge I had mine on 550 cord with the cord looped through a button hole on my shirt. Since it was in the days before breakaway clips, if I needed the cord to break away I was willing to sacrifice a shirt. I usually wore my badges clipped to my left pocket and only had the 550 cord lanyard to prevent the badge from getting lost/blown away. |

Finally, a tactical answer to the age old question!! |
|
I manage construction prjects, so the normal clip on the belt type don't cut it. Â I hated the thought of going with a neck lanyard, but since doing so about two months ago it has been much better.
I only have to wear the acess bandge when in my clients secured facilities, so it is not so bad. Â I got the Blackhawk laynayd off Amazon about about $15 or so and have been happy with it so far. |
