Function and fashion matters in your four-legged friend's leash selection. A leash has a dual purpose. It restrains an overexcited dog and shows a dog’s personality.

Ronnie, OutdoorInformer.com's Director of Dog Leashes & Collars reviews the latest offerings from Ruff Wear, OllyDog and supercollar.

Ruff Wear Roamer Leash & Top Rope Collar

Ruff Wear is focused on building high performance products for dogs and their human companions that enhance and inspire outdoor adventures.

The Roamer Leash is designed with an elastic core that expands and contracts as your pup hits the gas or goes for the breaks allowing an additional three to four-and-a-half feet of roaming freedom.

It gives convenience for city living and the versatility for the trail. A side release buckle transforms the leash from handheld to waist worn then to a fixed leash.

Your pup is close and secure at a busy intersection or from a passing runner with the Roamer’s traffic handle. (MSRP $34.95) Team it with the new Ruff Wear Top Rope Collar for an ideal collar-leash pairing. (MSRP $29.95)
