Flexi New Classic Retractable Dog Leash (Cord), 16 ft, Medium, Pink

Easy for humans to maneuver and built well (but light)
This leash is fantastic! We use it for our 9-month old 55lb Goldendoodle. She pulls with all her might at times. This leash is being tested. It is holding up well though! We have used this leash for 6 weeks Here are some other things to note:1. The color is fantastic – and slightly reflective.2. This is light, small, and yet holds her well. It is easy for me to maneuver in one hand.3. This costs less than our previous 3 retractable leashes. Yet it is sturdier (and so light). Remember, light does not equal poorly built. This seems to be a correlation some reviewers make.4. The line itself is not flat. This is a rope. This is good for a few reasons: 1) It does not get tangled. 2) It is less likely to have difficulty retracting (which is how 2/3 of the more expensive leaches became less desirable). 3) The line being a rope, and therefore smaller, is also less likely to get urinated on if the leash gets between her legs or under her tail.All in all, I can recommend this leash. It holds a rambunctious 55lb dog perfectly. I imagine it would have no difficulty holding a much heavier dog. It is small enough – and the rope small enough – to hold a much smaller dog as well.If you’re like me and have been purchasing a lot of leashes to find the perfect one, then perhaps you have found it in this Flexi. It is exactly what I wanted: a strong and small retractable leash.

Finally: a good solid high quality truly reflective and safe leash – great for low light walking
Fantastic leash – at last ! We originally mistakenly bought one that looked like this but was a cord leash — never again, ‘waaaay too dangerous for fingers, legs, children, and impossible to see even in daylight. We bought our first belt leash (actually it says “tape leash” on the package, as you can see in the photo) last fall and it lasted about 10 months on our 70-lb active young dog before it started to fray (the brake/release buttons continued to work well). This new one seems much sturdier even on the first few uses but the best part is, it’s a really bright neon reflective yellow: both the leash itself and the handle. We walk a lot in early morning and late evening and this leash really picks up and reflects the light — I’m (at last) really happy with the visibility. In contrast to another reviewer, the handle itself is just as reflective as the tape. I like the fact that the leash retracts all the way: the tape is thick enough that you can make a loop with your hand if you need to sit the dog close by. Flexi quality to its usual high standards: good solid feel, the tape retracts smoothly, the buttons feel strong and solid. I just put another one in my shopping cart! Highly recommended.

I would buy the ribbon line like my other larger dog has (same brand), the thin cord is not as good.

We have had a flexi brand leash for years that has lasted for a few of our dogs and lots of use. When it wasn’t working properly anymore we decided to get another one so went to the local pet store. They didn’t have Flexi brand so we purchased one we thought looked the same and paid more than we thought it would be. The other brand was not even close to the Flexi so we took it back and ordered the Flexi brand. It is awesome! It is very well made and we like the reflective feature. The one-hand braking and recoil feature is what was missing on the other brand. This safety feature is a must when you are out walking and need to react quickly and is what puts this brand above all others. Highly recommend this product.

Good quality product. Strong and reflective handle and bright cord very helpful at dark. Recommend. My go to brand for safety.
