Yellow Safety Lanyard Keychain (YSLK)

"Acquired" from the lowering line, often on their final jump, the yellow safety lanyard has been attached to the keychains of Paratroops for generations as a souvenir of their time on jump status. It is a subtle signal that fellow Airborne Veterans will immediately recognize but leaves legs confused.

 For those that never snagged one on the DZ, had theirs stolen by a jealous Marine, burned in a nasty divorce, or lost along the way, Airborne Apparel Company is proud to offer the YSLK (Yellow Saftey Lanyard Keychain), and its variants.

• A1 - This is a straight-up OG Yellow Safety Lanyard taken from surplus lowering lines. Some of these will look nearly new, others show clear signs that they exited more aircraft than you have. You probably have a keyring already, but we include a 1" standard key ring, just in case.  LIMITED AVAILABILITY.
   
• A2 - These are exact reproductions of the Type A, handmade in our Michigan shop from raw stock. We dug deep and located the original materials required for the GSA contract -  we also sourced those materials (even the thread and gutted 550) from the same U.S. suppliers as GSA contractors. This variant also includes a 1" standard keyring (not pictured)
  
  
• A3 - A more compact version of the Type A & B, measuring about 4.5". Also handmade in our shop, we use the same materials and methods, but replace the 550 loops with a sewn-in HK/Sling clip.
