The U.R.T. (Universal Retention Tether) by Maratac®
The U.R.T. (Universal Retention Tether) by Maratac®
The ultimate "sterile" carry solution for securing your essential EDC.
The U.R.T. (Universal Retention Tether) by Maratac® was designed to solve a specific problem: How do you secure critical gear in environments where metal is a liability? Whether you are navigating TSA checkpoints, working around MRI machines, or operating in EOD environments, the U.R.T. provides a 100% non-ferrous, non-magnetic solution.
Despite being completely metal-free, this tether doesn't sacrifice security. The polymer carabiner features a unique Retention Key design—an integrated lug that locks the gate in place under tension—ensuring your keys, lights, or pry bars never accidentally break away during rugged use.
The lanyard portion is constructed with a high-tensile cord featuring an integrated Reflective Tracer. This ensures rapid visual identification of your gear in low-light conditions or inside a dark kit bag.
Key Features:
-
100% Non-Ferrous Construction: Zero metal content makes this completely rust-proof, non-magnetic, and permissive-environment friendly (won't trigger metal detectors).
-
High-Vis Retrieval: Integrated reflective threading allows for easy "flash-indexing" day or night.
-
Secure Locking: The gate features a molded retention key to prevent accidental detachment.
-
Lightweight Utility: Ideal for tethering widely used EDC items like flashlights, widgy bars, and key fobs to your belt loop or pack.

Field Applications & Use Cases
-
Permissive Environments (TSA / Courthouses): Because the U.R.T. contains zero metal, it allows you to keep your essential gear attached to your person or bag without triggering metal detectors. Perfect for frequent flyers or professionals working in secure government facilities who are tired of stripping their gear at every checkpoint.
-
Medical & Industrial Safety: Ideal for MRI technicians, electricians, or server administrators working near sensitive magnetic equipment or high-voltage lines. The non-ferrous, non-conductive construction ensures you can carry your badge or access keys without risk of magnetic interference or conductivity.
-
Maritime & Coastal Ops: Saltwater destroys steel springs, but the U.R.T. is completely impervious to corrosion. Use it to tether gear on a kayak, boat console, or fishing vest without worrying about rust seizing the gate shut after a season on the water.
-
Low-Light Indexing: Stop digging blindly into the bottom of a dark rucksack. Tether the U.R.T. to a zipper pull or internal MOLLE webbing; the integrated reflective tracer catches even the faintest ambient light, allowing you to visually locate and retrieve your keys or flashlight instantly.
⚠️ SAFETY NOTICE: While tough enough for daily carry and gear retention, the U.R.T. is NOT load-bearing. Do not use for climbing, repelling, or life-safety applications.
