Barkswell Hands Free Dog Lead - Running Lead with Waist Belt and Bungee Cord

This is a great hands free walking and running lead to use with a dog.The belt is fully adjustable with a clip closure, (I have approx 26 - 28" waist and it is easy to adjust to the right size) two different placed D rings to attach the bungee leash (although I tend to just slide the belt around my waist whilst running should I need to change the side that my dogs on) and a zipped pouch with two compartments (fits my Samsung s9 nicely with poop bags in the other pocket) which can be adjusted to sit anywhere on the belt.The bungee is a great length for running on pavements (I was worried at first it would be too long and my dog could easily run into the road) but it's long enough for him to run just in front or nicely to the side of me. The grab handle is great for crossing roads and I'm also confident in just holding the bunjee lead should I need to guide him or have a little more control for a short period of time.The 'bounce' of the bungee lead is still quite stiff but may get softer with more use, it just allows me those few precious moments to come to a stop when he decides he needs to wee up another bush for the 100th time.For reference, I'm 5ft5 (ish) with a 25kg border collie and overall I'm really, really happy with the quality and convenience of this belt

Good quality and sturdy. Reasonably priced and works well

I bought this to walk my cat while I am on crutches. I've found it really comfortable and practical, my only gripe - someone else mentioned this as well - is that the lead is a little short as it is and although it's elasticated, it's a bit stiff for my cat to pull it out longer. He's used to being walked on an extendable lead (a big one we used to use for our collie, as he's quite strong) meaning he can wander off a little further at will. He's been really pulling on this trying to go a little faster than I can at the moment. I can imagine it would be great for dog walking.

Very good quality. Used for running with the dog.

Fantastic quality and a great way to go running with my two dogs. Also great for walking the 5 at once.

The media could not be loaded. I gave this product 5 stars for the quality, stability and overall comfort and feel.For busy areas the lead length is fine; however, for walks in open areas, I'd advise getting a standard lead with a double clip as an add on. My dogs are always free in parks etc but the walk to and from open spaces to car or house needs an extra length.The quality is fantastic.Ease of use: excellentStability and security: brilliantValue for money: perfect

The belt is comfortable to wear and the pocket feature is good for a phone, poo bags and treats. I bought this for a young collie as we walk through a lot of sheep fields, so this let's me walk hands-free and take photos easily. After a year of regular use the plastic belt clips have snapped and left a sharp bit that catches on hands and clothes. The bunjee part of the lead has lost its elasticity completely, not from the dog pulling, but more from climbing over stiles and maybe because I don't dry it out between uses. I have used this for about 18 months and it needs replacing now.

The media could not be loaded. Product is very sturdy, quality materials and we'll thought out, purchased to walk both my daughters dogs, cocker / golden retriever Cross and labrador, even at that I would say this is overgunned for these two and would be more than capable of restraining much larger breeds although its not too heavy when its on your waist, probably a wee bit dearer than others on the market but you can register for lifetime warranty and I'm confident this item will last for years, overall I'm very pleased with it, couple off handy phone - wallet - keys pockets I have a galaxy a53 with a cover which is quite a large phone and it fits, very handy for bits and bobs when your out in the summer with just shorts and a tee shirt, leads are a good length and clip up on to belt when dogs are off keeping them off the ground, you don't need this if you have small to medium size dogs but if you have two larger dogs it's perfect @ £30 for heavy 1 with double lead I just look at it as a 1 off purchase which I won't have to replace for a very long time.
