I was wondering what ROFFites have used,
and any ideas you might have on pros and cons of any systems.

Get a section of rubber tubing with an inside diameter slightly larger
than the cord you use for the lanyard. Tie a knot in each end of the
cord and stuff the knots into each end of the rubber tubing.

I have a lanyard that uses this approach and it works well.

Any suggestions on a good scource for that sort of tubing? I've
read some folks say to use surgical tubing, and one fellow suggested
using those sunglasses straps with rubber tube ends. I picked up one
of the latter and it *almost* works. I tried using weedwacker line
for the core and knotted the ends. I then worked them into the rubber
tips the best I could, but I'm afraid they'll come out if I
accidentally jerk on the lanyard while reaching for a tool.

What kind of cord does your use?
