This is a very stylish leash, the soft-coated strap is nylon but almost feels like leather, and the matte-finish metal elements look almost like pewter. My rural-located sheltie will be the talk of the county with such a beautiful leash (a big upgrade from freebie leashes dating from giveaway promotions at baseball games).This is a functional leash at 6 feet and substantial in heft, so I would think it would be best for dogs say 40 to 50 pounds and higher, as for smaller dogs it's a bit wide and weighty. The ash color could potentially show dirt, so I would say this is for dry days when you and your dog aren't splashing mud around, but it is advertised as easy-to-clean so it may work in the wet and snow as well. It does look awesome with my sheltie's shaded sable coat.Diggs Dog Leash - 6ft - Waterproof, Soft Coated, Nylon, Durable, Metal Hardware, Odor Resistant, Easy to Clean, Leash for Small Medium Large DogI currently own Wild One products and I love them but this leash is just as beautiful, maybe even more so.It’s available in the neutral colors of ash, charcoal and navy. Our leash is in the color Ash, which is a subtle light grey. It has a soft matte touch that feels good in hand. The waterproof coating makes for easy cleaning. The hardware is a matte silver color and very substantial. This leash is absolutely gorgeous. We have the matching collar and are very happy with the pair. Highly recommend.The diggs Aesthetic is perfect for the modern urban ha. I absolutely love the Matt Grey LUX finish. Super easy to clean and you were able to add on with a matching dog bag and or matching color. The light gray is perfect for summer time and dark colored dogs. I love that this is easy to clean and will never ever smell. Great for people with dogs that like to go in the water or live in a water front area. This leash is on the heavier side due to the heavy metal construction pieces.Previous to my purchase of the Diggs Dog Leash, I was a firm believer that the Wild One leash was the best. But after purchasing this item, I’ve changed my mind! The Diggs leash is much better in quality than any dog leash I’ve ever had. It’s thick in material and wider than other (photo attached for comparison). It’s well constructed and feels nice on the hand. My puppy is a leash chewer, but hasn’t even tried chewing this one yet, he’s a fan too!This leash is very sturdy and heavy. It is also very easy to clean. Feels premium in hand.This is a nice, sturdy leash and 6ft long. The color is light which is different and its waterproof. I am not sure about order resistance but I would imagine that since it is coated, that prevents moisture and odors from getting into the leash. Looks really nice.
