Ruffwear, Flagline Dog Leash, Lightweight 6.5 ft Lead, Alpenglow Pink

One hands-free dog leash built around a 6.5 ft lead and a 0.8 in polyester webbing strap. An adjustable side-release buckle lets the Ruffwear Flagline be worn at the waist or carried in the hand, and the lockable Crux Clip connects the lead to a collar. Pick-up bags can be kept in the low-profile stash pocket close to the handle, and every size of dog can use it.

Which dogs and waists does this leash fit?

Ruffwear lists the Flagline as suitable for dogs of all sizes, so the dog's size is not the deciding factor here. For the person, the waist-worn setup depends on the adjustable buckle: the strap closes around the waist through the side-release buckle, and the same buckle lets you shorten the loop to a handheld lead when you would rather carry it.

Check the collar end before you commit, because the lockable Crux Clip is the only attachment on the lead and it needs a ring it can close through. The 6.5 ft length is fixed, so the distance between you and the dog stays the same whether the leash is worn or held.

Colour and matching options

This version is Alpenglow Pink, one of the colourfast hues Ruffwear makes in the Flagline line. Ruffwear states that the colours are chosen to match its harnesses, so you can pair the lead with a harness in the same shade. The webbing itself is colourfast and weather-resistant, which is the property the brand gives for the strap material.

How the Flagline is put together

• The lead measures 6.5 ft from the handle to the clip, and the webbing is 0.8 in wide across its length.
• The side-release buckle adjusts so the leash can be worn around the waist or held in the hand as a standard lead.
• The Crux Clip on the dog's end locks, so the connection to the collar ring stays closed once the gate is secured.
• A low-profile stash pocket sits near the handle and holds pick-up bags within reach on a walk.
• The polyester webbing is colourfast and weather-resistant, and the whole leash packs down small enough to fit in a pocket.
