A friend had one of the earlier designs when it came in only two colors and after playing with it I picked one up for my younger dog. I love this leash. It is SO light, easily crams into a pocket, or hangs around your neck with out feeling bulky or awkward. The adjustability means it's multi-function and super versatile. The second the new colors were released I picked this one up in blue for my working dog and it is the leash we use every single day. The clips are light, and secure but do require you to really pay attention to putting them on and taking them off a collar or harness. But the leash is so versatile, and easily packed I never leave home with out it.
