Why Choose a Breakaway Whistle Lanyard?
A breakaway lanyard offers an additional safety consideration compared with a standard fixed lanyard. The Smitty Black Breakaway Whistle Lanyard is designed to separate when pulled, making it a useful option for officials who prefer a breakaway-style whistle attachment.
The black finish is particularly versatile for officiating because it blends naturally with traditional black-and-white referee uniforms as well as many other official apparel styles.
Keep one attached to your game whistle and another in your equipment bag as a replacement so you're prepared when you need it.
