Please Note: No glue or other adhesives are used on our products. The ends are burned/melted for durability and prevent fraying; brighter colors will be more noticeable (as seen in the product pictures). RedVex paracord neck lanyards are made from quality 550 parachute cord. The size chosen in the listing is for the total length of the lanyard. To measure for your fit, cut a piece of string to the desired length size (16Â, 18Â, 20Â, 22Â, or custom size) and place one end on the back of your neck. Allow the other end to lay down you neck and chest. The end of the string is the approximate location of the end of the clip on the chosen lanyard. Slight variations of ½ inch or less can occur. Get your size wrong? No problem, we will be glad to exchange for your right size (we pay return shipping). We offer 100% money back, no questions asked returns. We will authorize returns within 30 days for any reason and we will still pay return shipping. We try to refund within 24hrs after receiving the returned product. We are able to customize. We can leave the adjuster off if desired. If you have a customization requests simply send us a message through Amazon messages with your request and we will be glad to let you know if we can do it and any associated prices or wait times. Need a different size not listed? Have an idea for a different style? Need a carabiner or a special clip? These are designed with a ÂBreak-Away safety clasp for wear around the neck. It withholds only slight resistance to prevent choking. If your application is not for wear around the neck, we can make this style lanyard with one single piece of cord without the ÂBreak-Away clasp, contact us for details.
