What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I use this every time I transition my dog from the car to the trailhead, clipping in fast with the Crux Clip before we hit a busy parking lot. It stows easily into the elastic keeper once we go off leash, so it never gets in the way during the actual hike."Ruffwear built the Front Range Short Leash for the in-between moments, the walk from the car to the trailhead, the crowded switchback where dogs need to stay close, the quick grab when a mountain biker rounds the corner. It is not the leash for a long walk around the block, it is the one that lives clipped to a harness for exactly the moments that call for it. The lockable Crux Clip swivels and holds steady without adding bulk, while a lightly padded handle keeps grip comfortable even on a tight hold. Recycled content in the webbing means it does its job without adding unnecessary impact, and the elastic keeper strap tucks it away the second a dog goes back off leash. It is a small piece of gear that solves a specific, recurring problem on the trail.
