take whistle out of mouth or just let it drop out?

I wear a smitty lanyard and I let it drop. I do also carry a noose lanyard in case the little plastic ring on my shirt breaks.

I learned a trick quickly about these loops. Take the ring out of an old whistle and put it on the loop. Then the Smitty clips to the ring and it won't wear your loop away.

That's a good idea, I will try that. Thanks!

Neat trick. I will try that one.

Another option is to replace the hard plastic, metal or cloth loop with a small black rubber grommet. The "stretch" the rubber provides prevents wear and tear.
