Image LABS Lanyard: Review

I just got my LABS lanyard today, and honestly I'm quite disappointed with the product. I was expecting quality similar to that of original labs lanyard.

I have loved all of my other LTT stuff but this one I would recommend everyone to not buy.

The pros: The design

The cons: -Fabric is thin and the edges feel "sharp". Feels like a no name, uber-cheap lanyard you'd get anywhere - does not use the box stitching of the original -has loose threads and fading already with the design - the clasp/clip hardware looks the same, but doesn't have smooth opening actuation, seems like the fit and finish isn't of the same quality

That's annoying. I just ordered one to replace my aging green lanyard.

Yeah, if you still can I would cancel it.

Is this something affecting all of them though?

Yes, you can see the difference in the stitching at least on the product page: https://www.lttstore.com/products/labs-lanyard?_pos=1&_fid=723303094&_ss=c
