Xtreme L | 8 m Extra resistant Retractable Tape Leash for Dogs up to 55 kg | Orange | Retractable Dog Lead | Soft Stop | Built-in shock absorber | Weight: 640 g | Dimensions: 14.7 x 21 cm

The review is written after using the product for a month so as to really get a feel for it. I must say I am impressed. This is a sturdy well made leash. Not poor quality cheap junk. You get what you pay for here. The handle is comfortable even for a large paw like mine! There is no strain on the wrist when walking even when the dog is pulling which she sometimes does and for a large dog that has been uncomfortable with other leads. The tape style fabric lead retracts smoothly even with my 38 Kg dog. The brake and the snap lock work well without needing to strain your thumb. When the lead is really hard taut however occasionally the snap lock is stiff but a slight forward movement releases it easily. The length for me is just right for me and my dog, which can be controlled over its entire span. I have a well trained dog who returns to me on command and the retraction gearing brings in the leash as fast as she runs back preventing tangles and twists I have had from other leads. I do like the flexible shock absorbing end as well and the snap clip is sturdy which easy to clip on and off with a good size thumb snib. So; Ease of use and control 9/10 Comfort 10/10 Control and Safety 10/10 Product quality and manufacture 10/10 Price for what you get 10/10 I hope not to have to buy another leach again for a while, but if I do I will replace it again with this one. Enough said.

Brilliant long lead. I need the bungee as my doggo loves to run, so having this attached, is fab. Always great quality with the Flexi brand. Love the orange lead. Really sturdy for my energetic girl and 8m is perfect length. Love it. A must for bouncy doggo. Never tangles and the locking mechanism is so easy and retracts quickly and smoothly.

Been using this for two weeks, now. It's been perfect. Has made a real difference for me and my labrador. No pulling on lead. The frexi Xtreme works great. Very smooth retraction. Easy lock function... and, the orange one matches her harness. I have used non retractable long leads previously which are a nightmare, tangling all the time. This one is perfect. So glad I purchased. Try it you will be pleased. I definately recommend.

This Flexi Xtreme lead feels incredibly well-built and durable. I use it with my large Rotterman (Rottweiler-Doberman cross), and while he’s generally calm and well-behaved, he has tested its durability, and it’s reassuring to have a lead that clearly has the strength to handle a powerful dog if needed. The tape feels sturdy and secure, giving me full confidence during our walks. It has a weight to the handle that feels durable and well build, although not being so heavy to weigh your hand down over long walks The design is sleek, and the adjustable grip is a thoughtful feature — though in practice, I haven’t really needed to use it. Still, it’s nice to have the option. I would have liked to be able to pick a difrent colour apposed to bright orange. It is very visible but I'm not sure this is a necessity. One thing worth noting is that the accessories (like the poo bag holder) are extremely usefull however — they’re extras you have to purchase separately. That makes the overall setup more expensive. If they were included, I’d say the price point would feel a lot more justifiable and competitive. All in all, it’s a solid, high-quality lead that feels like it will last — I just wish it offered better value with a few of those useful extras included.

I absolutely love this lead. It’s great for training, is lightweight enough that I can carry it on my belt on long walks and is a really nice length. It’s heavier than most other Flexi’s, which could be an issue for some dogs if dropped due to being louder because of the weight. The bungee at the end is particularly useful. The tape is bright and feels safer than others. It’s never knotted and has held up really well to being used and abused a lot. The slider on the handle is good to help with grip. Ideally it’d be nice if it was changed slightly to be more like the Flexi Giant to hold in terms of the lead being taller than it is wide. If used responsibly, it’s a great tool for your dog training toolkit.

I'm not normally a fan of retractable leads, however, we have a rescue Jack Russell cross, who's recall is not up to scratch yet, so I got this for when we are in the fields to give him more freedom whilst still being attached to me. Although our dog is only approx 6kg in weight, we bought the medium as I thought the small wouldn't offer the strength and durability that this one has to offer, and I'm happy with that decision. I am so pleasantly surprised by this lead, it is brilliant. The handle fits well in the hand, the bungee works well, it's super sturdy, the lock is simple to use and is effective, and I trust it out on our walk - which I didn't think I would. The bright orange colour of the lead itself is great, as you can see it easily, and so far (we've had the lead for around 3 weeks and use it daily) no tangles or jams with the mechanism. The actual handle has a slot for a poo bag/treat container which we have and is brilliant. I've also managed to attach our poo holder disc and treat pouch on the handle so it carries most of the things we need on a walk without being clumsy in the hand. All in all a good buy. I'd definitely buy this lead again when our current one eventually needs replacing.

A well made, solid and well designed lead! Effectiveness - The bungee system at the end really does help. Whilst a bit strange and off-putting at first, it's stopped my arm being torn off plenty of times and probably stopped my dogs neck snapping a few times too! ...Obviously I'm exaggerating, but it's actually a great implementation. Length - Brilliant. I cannot let my dog off the lead, so being able to give them the freedom to roam whilst still having control over them means a lot. This lead really helps with that. Colour - Nice and vibrant. The wife loves orange, so this is ideal. Weight - Not too bad... We oversized our lead as our dog is very stocky, so we pretty much went for double the weight limit, which means we ended up with the really big size. My wife has never complained and I never feel any strain from carry this thing around. Comfort - Great. The adjustable hand rest is a nice addition. Due to the bigger handle on the large size, being able to adjust it makes it a lot easier to hold and still have access to the release catch/lock. Bonus - If you're wondering what the black chord is that comes with the lead... If you loop it around the handle and into itself, you can use it as a wrist strap.... just incase you drop the lead.

Feels quality in your hand and when in use- by that I mean super smooth when extending and retracting. I'm not a dog lead expert but we've had dogs all our lives and been through plenty of leads to feel a difference. I appreciate that you're either an extendable lover or hater, that's fine, but this is the nicest, smoothest extendable I've used- again it's hard to explain and quantify because it's a just a dog lead that retracts but I dog-walk a lot and rack up some hours so it's been noticeable how good this is. It's adjustable to fit your hand size and the elasticated/soft stop last foot or so is instantly felt. The whole retract mechanism is really good.

This is a good leash. Sturdier than the cable one that broke only after a couple months. The ribbon is strong and retracts smooth and straight.

La qualité est au rendez-vous : elle est solide, résistante, et donne un vrai sentiment de sécurité lors des promenades, même quand mon Husky tire fort. Le vrai plus, c'est la sangle qui permet d'absorber les secousses quand mon chien pousse ou tire brusquement. Ça évite les à-coups désagréables dans le bras et rend la promenade beaucoup plus confortable, même avec un chien énergique comme le mien. La longueur est bien adaptée, ni trop courte ni trop longue, ce qui permet une bonne liberté de mouvement tout en gardant le contrôle. La poignée est confortable en main, même après une longue promenade. L'attache au collier ou au harnais se fait facilement et reste bien fixée, aucun problème de décrochage à signaler. Un excellent produit que je recommande sans hésiter, particulièrement adapté aux races puissantes comme le Husky qui ont tendance à tirer !

I love this 8 metre retractable lead. It allows our young dog so much more freedom while on holiday without the risks of exploring off lead. It's so well made comfortable to hold and sturdy for a puller and I don't find it heavy at all.

Jättebra.

Zeer stevige oprolbare riem (lint) Gekocht omdat mijn hondje van ca. 12 kg steeds de koppeling tussen aansluiting lint en rekbaar lint kapot trok.... Als deze mocht sneuvelen haal ik een (ouderwetse) metalen kettingriem
