Purchased this for a high energy and very skittish boxer mix 40lbs. Needed something that would be a bit more gentle on my joints and her neck when she fearfully reacts and takes off. The bungee of this leash combined with an Ezydog Checkmate Martingale collar allows me to be confident that she will not pull off leash or out of harness and that my arms and her neck will not get snapped. I have experienced high energy skittish dogs rescues pulling out of harness and subsequently out of a back up traditional collar that was tether connected only to run off. The build of some dogs is such that a harness can be wiggled out of and a traditional collar can be wiggled out of too. This combination of Martingale and bungee leash is great when used specifically for walks and long leash play time. The traffic handle can be adjusted a little further away than other bungee leashes. For our needs the extra distance for the traffic handle is perfect. The padded handles are comfortable and the contrasting red/ black color makes them easy to find and quickly grab when needed. I tested out the belt and pouch. The belt was just long enough when adjusted to its maximum to fit over my waist. I use 44" waist jeans presently. The belt and pouch are OK, I have not used them, but plan to use them at the shore line. The pouch seems small and the belt is somewhat thin and doesn't take into account that you may wear it over heavy coats because it seems to max out a little over 45" or so.PROS:+bungee is just right not too tense and not too loose+padded handles are comfortable+contrasting colors make handles easy to identify and quick to grab+snap rings are sturdy and function without slopiness for my 40lb dog+seams are stitched well and strudy+belt has multiple D ring options for stationary or loose moving attachment of the leash+leash has snap rings at both ends allowing it to be used with long leash setups+dries off quicklyCONS:-belt is not easily adjusted from one person to the next. It requires fussing with it for a few minutes to get it adjusted. Those little plastic slide adjustments are not quickly adjustable.-If the belt were wider strap material it would be more comfortable.-If the belt were longer, big guys and gals could wear it over heavy coats-The pouch could be bigger-Snap clips may not be sturdy enough for large strong breedsFinal thought: If your dog is not super small nor a large strong breed, and you are not extremely thin waisted or over overly big waisted - this can be a great tool for walking, running and exercising your dog. It can be used in a number of ways and in combination with other tools to improve the quality time with your pet.
