Bring your own key leash! Keys are small, easy to loose. Nobody wants to loose a key. Home key, motorbike key, locker key – clip them all on a leash!
Loosing a key can result in: (1) being stranded, (2) a money fine, (3) a headache – a pain in the butt!
Most places you’ll stay will give you a key with a big, chunky, thing attached to it. Not comfortable. So, you’ll want to remove it and put your key on a leash.
Tip
Put keys on a leash.
Put keys in a zipper pocket (shorts/pants with zipper pocket) so that they do not fall out of your pocket.
Note
This post is similar to the phone leash post – check that out, too!
Key Leashes
BlackRapid WandeR Smartphone Tether System
The leash has a lockable clip – pull it tight and lock the clip in place so it doesn’t come off. It’s an important feature to keep keys (and phones) secure. That is a big selling point.
This leash comes with the BlackRapid phone tether, but you can buy the leash separate (Short length or Long length leashes – you’ve got options)! We prefer the short length, which is the leash that comes with the phone tether system.
Find it on the BlackRapid website, or for sale on Amazon.
Other
Any standard lanyard will do. However, we feel that lanyards are a little too long. We really using the leash from BlackRapid (the regular short one, not the longer ones).
