Flexi New Neon Tape Blue Small 5m Retractable Dog Leash/Lead for Dogs up to 15kgs/33lbs

The major difference with this particular retractable leash is that it is truly a cord leash; which I prefer to the tape kind that I have purchased many of, not realizing that tape is pretty much the only kind you find it does have approx 17" of tape at the end that clips to the dog. After the tape portion, it is attached to a very small, braided cord that doesn't ravel, at all. A much larger leash is recommended for my dog, I have found that the larger ones are heavy and burdensome. This is my 2nd purchase of this particular leash. I utilize this leash for my extremely strong pit and it has never broken. The first day that he was rescued, I was dragged superman style all the way down my road until a neighbor stepped in. My dog is muscular and strong and has the energy of a puppy. He is not easy on the leash and this is one tough lil leash!! this will remain my leash of choice anywhere that we travel to; the dog is part of our family and he goes everywhere we do. The stop lock on it is used A LOT, and keeps working. It gets rained on, drags in the sand, the ocean, gets dragged around and other than cosmetic appearances, there simply isn't another leash that can take what this one can. It has never pulled out, the lock has never given way, the cord looks like it did the first day we received it. Awesome leash that stands up to my dogs mistreatment. very satisfied with this leash!

My little dog is so happy with this 26’ leash ! She now has the room to run full speed all over the place & it’s fun watching what a good time she has zig zagging all over the yard or park ! She was never able to do that with the 16’ one . At first it felt a little awkward in my hand compared to the smaller one , but was soon ok . I think the locking mechanism is probably ok but I find it awkward & not sure I trust it so I tend to just hold the button down . And it doesn’t reel in nearly as quickly or smoothly as the old one so at first I wasn’t sure it was going to work out but turns out it’s absolutely fine the way it is . Because it reels in slower (though there’s never really any loose slack in it even when she’s running towards me fast , the tension of it just isn’t so tight ) & not as smoothly as the old one (feels like it has little quick glitches in the rewind ) I’m just not sure if this has the same quality as my old one which is used several times a day every day for the past 8 yrs & is still in perfect shape . My dog is so happy with it though & I like it , so hopefully it’s still the Flexi quality of the past , just with a different feel to it

I've used Flexi leases for multiple dogs over many years. They always last, I expect 5 years plus of daily use from them. I've tried to save a couple of bucks with cheaper retractable leases and they just don't work. The retractable spring tension gets weak, and they break down internally and either jam, or stop retracting. This Flexi is a cord type, 26' long for an active 40 lb. dog. I also have a tape Flexi 16' for the same dog. The tape one is a large, and the cord a medium. Both work great, and the tape one has a nice strong retraction spring. So, I use the tape one mainly with the cord as a back up.

I've used maybe a dozen different retractable leashes in recent years and came back to this one when my first Flexi started getting chancy after five years of use five times a day (I just did the math at that's over nine thousand uses). Most retractables talk about their features but without durability what good are those features? Flexi invented the retractable leash, I'm told. It shows. I walk two very different dogs at the same time with these, up and down full flights of stairs and around trees and across streets. I need the leashes to work fast and work reliably. I have the poop bag holder on both and the Flexi light on one. I'm not sure I recommend the light (though I've been using it for those five years). I had to modify it so it wouldn't turn on when it bumped against my other leash. Pay the extra for this. Over the years the extra quality pays off.

Great product love this leash

I purchased the black in size medium and it fits nicely in your hand and recoils easily. My dog weighs 18 pounds for reference.Very happy with purchase.

Got this for my puppy earlier this year. She is now 1 and has grown into the weight range for it. It is easy to use, bright in color, and easily seen day or night.

I don’t write very many reviews of product I purchase. Not unless they’re crap or excel. The FLEXI CLASSIC RETRACTABLE DOG LEASH is the latter.In the few months I’ve had it, my dog Trout and I have ABUSED this thing. 4-5 walks per day, tossing the unit in the car, countless drops from waist high, multiple times it’s been pulled out of my hands as it tumbles after Trout on tarmac & trail, as he bounds away. He chews on it, I regularly step on it, zip tied it to a fence post and used it as a stationary dog run lead. And just this morning, months later, it occurs to me that in terms of its intended purpose, it is operating just as it did the first day: It retracts lighting quick, faster than Trout can run back to me. Other than expected wear & tear, no fraying or signs of the cord nearing end of life. The case is horribly scuffed up from Trout dragging it around, but is solid and no signs it is coming apart.I would highly recommend this leash to any dog owner on the hunt for a durable product.
