This subcategory falls under Tactical Gear and is positioned within Plate Carriers & Tactical Vests as a specialised safety solution.

Application and functional use

A personal retention lanyard connects the user to a fixed anchor point, vehicle or aircraft. The purpose is not to secure equipment, but to secure the person themselves.

Characteristic features of professional retention lanyards are:

• Mil Spec tubular webbing with high tensile strength
• Certified carabiners with double safety
• Self-locking fastening systems
• Controlled freedom of movement without compromising safety

Systems such as a FROG clip and TANGO carabiner enable quick and secure attachment, even under stressful conditions or when wearing gloves.

Load capacity and construction

Retention lanyards in this category are designed for heavy-duty operational conditions. Components such as aluminium carabiners and automatic clips are tested to high kilonewton values, indicating significant breaking strength and structural reliability.

Important construction features include:

• Double safety system to prevent accidental opening
• Self-locking mechanism upon contact with anchor point
• Wear-resistant webbing with high tension resistance

Correct use always requires training and compliance with applicable safety protocols.
