Compared With The Alternatives
| Metal ski pass holder with 45 mm housing | Lighter and lower cost per piece, but less durable in extreme cold or high-impact environments |
|---|---|
| Fixed lanyard with pass holder | More expensive, but the pass stays visible without retracting; this reel retracts automatically |
| Plastic reel with 35 mm housing | Smaller print area, but the 45 mm housing offers better visibility and a more robust feel |
Use Guide
- Clip the plastic hook onto a jacket loop, belt edge or backpack strap
- Slide the ski pass into the cord end and let it rest in the housing
- Pull the pass to the scanner and release to let the cord retract
- Keep the cord clear of moving parts like ski bindings or lift cables
- Replace the hook or cord if either shows signs of wear
