I've only had this leash a couple of days and only used it once, but I keep getting a reminder to leave a review, so here we go! This leash is really pretty great. I love the quality of the waistband for hands free running with my dogs. There is a locking clasp across the buckle which is really fantastic. That feature really speaks to the quality of this leash and waistband. There is a storage bag which I use to keep it by the front door. The reflective strips are excellent and the overall quality is simply amazing. I have only used this leash once, but the elastic in the leash tended to pull a bit off balance with my dogs - but they tend to pull hard on a leash and they are medium sized (35 and 40 pounds, respectively). The elastic is amazing for the run we went on. I am a certified dog trainer and I would use a static line for training, but for active running and walking this hands free leash is amazing.
