Garmin Alpha Lanyards
A lanyard is the simplest way to keep an Alpha handheld secure and reachable in the field. A carabiner lanyard clips to a vest, and a paracord lanyard with a quick-release snap gives fast access while stopping a dropped unit from hitting the ground.
Carabiner vs paracord
A basic carabiner accessory clips the handheld to a loop or D-ring. A paracord lanyard adds a quick-release snap, so you can pull the unit to use it and let it hang against your chest the rest of the time. Either beats carrying the Alpha loose in a pocket, where it is one slip from a cracked screen.
For all-day carry a holster is the step up; a lanyard is the minimum, and the cheapest insurance against a drop.
