This leach is the best leash I've every owned. I choose the bright green to match the collar. Being environmental conscience I was attracted to the recycled material, but I was concerned that the rubber would smell like a bicycle inner tube. Surprisingly, it did not even have an odor straight out of the product packaging. I have a 100 lb Labrador and every leash I've used with him slips or binds my hand when he pulls. Because of the rubber and because it is flat, it neither slips nor binds my hand. It is very flexible. The fabric material is soft and easy to clean. I didn't have to even use soap to clean off the dirt. We have half a dozen leashes, but this one is the go to leash that everyone in our household chooses when they take our dog out. We love, love, love this leash. I highly recommend this leash if you're looking for the perfect leash!Bought this a few months ago to use with a coupler for our 2 large dogs (65 and 80 lbs), and it is a wonderful product! The reflective strip is very bright, and even though is only applied to one side, is enough to make sure you are visible to passing cars, biker, other pedestrians, and possibly low flying aircraft... and does not seem to show any signs of fading, peeling, or any other deterioration yet. The leash is well constructed and has held up well so far, no fraying or unraveling, and is sturdy enough so that I do not feel worried that it or the hardware on it may break/come apart, even with 145 lbs of dogs pulling against it. My boyfriend thinks it is too springy, and it does have a little bit of snap to it, but not so much that it stretches. The bottle opener works nicely and is very convenient, also, for the clip on bag dispenser on walks. The whole leash is a little heavier than a standard double-ply nylon leash and takes some getting used to between the weight and the springiness, but I find those both to be good things in day to day use.This has held up very well. My dog is very active and plays hard with other dogs. This is still very reflective and handles the rough-housing and playing my dog gets into with other dogs. I did take off the logo as I wanted it to be reflective all the way around the collar. If the logo was smaller, I would have kept it on. The beer opener is sturdy and functional in a pinch, but is awkward to use on a beer bottle. The first sip sometimes ends up on the ground as the bottle needs to be sideways when opened. I guess I could take the collar off when using the bottle opener, but that is clearly not the main function of the collar! Love that it does not retain water or odor. If this ever gets shredded, I will definitely get another.We purchased this leash for our 54lb pitbull Violet when she was about 1. Now, 3 years later, the reflective fabric now wearing off and separating from the leash and we are ready to buy from them again. Excellent quality, the leash has been sturdy but also very flexible, it doesnt cut into your hand like other leashes when your dog pulls. I also love that the company is reusing materials that woukd otherwose have gone in a landfill. The refective strip and bottle opener are a bonus.I loved this leash so much that I ordered 2 different patterns of it for my mom and brother and their dogs! Awesome leash, awesome company! They have great other stuff too!Great collar. Strong. Doesn’t get stuff and hard. Easy on your hands to hold your dog.We're really enjoying our new leashes. We love that they are made from recycled bicycle tubes and reflective material. The reinforced rubber give excellent security as well as a bit of give when our dog catches a scent and pulls. They are holding up really well with our Portland rain and provide excellent visibility with their reflective ability. Can't wait to try out the bottle openers this summer at music in the park with the dogs! Good job Cycle Dogs!!!This thing is amazing. My Mrs. and dog both love it. High visibility and longer than the standard leash. I always feel concerned when I have to ride my bike with the dog on the leash (only do this when other people are around) but this leash is long enough to let me feel comfortable. Plus there is just the right amount of stretch, which prevents injury to the dog. Would make a perfect leash if all you do is walk. Would definitely recommend.
