Product Information

Full details

The Flexi New Comfort Retractable Lead is designed for dog owners seeking enhanced control and comfort during walks. Its key benefit lies in the ergonomic soft grip and the reliable short-stroke braking system, offering a secure connection with your pet. A potential consideration is that from size M, the grip is adjustable, which might require a brief adjustment period for some users.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity for this lead?

This specific model (L, 8m) has a maximum load weight capacity of 50 kg.

Can I use this lead in the rain?

Yes, the lead is designed for various weather conditions. However, it's recommended to wipe it dry after use and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture to maintain its longevity.

How do I attach accessories like the LED Light System?

The accessories are designed to attach to specific points on the lead's housing or handle. Refer to the accessory's specific instructions for detailed attachment steps.

Is the grip size adjustable on all models?

No, the adjustable grip feature is available on sizes M and larger. Smaller sizes have a fixed grip.

What should I do if the tape gets dirty?

You can wipe the tape clean with a damp cloth as you retract it. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure the tape is dry before storing.

How does the short-stroke braking system work?

The system is operated by a thumb-activated button. A quick press locks the tape, while holding the button down maintains the lock. Releasing the button allows the tape to retract or extend freely.

Is this lead suitable for puppies?

While suitable for dogs up to 50kg, it's generally recommended for more mature dogs who have completed basic leash training. For puppies, a standard, non-retractable lead might be safer during initial training.

Troubleshooting

Lead not retracting smoothly

Ensure the tape is not tangled around the spool. Gently pull the tape out slightly and guide it back in. Check for any debris caught in the mechanism.

Brake button feels stuck

Check if the tape is fully extended or if there is tension on the line. Try engaging and disengaging the lock a few times. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the button.

Carabiner clip is difficult to open/close

Inspect the clip for dirt or debris. Clean it with a small brush and a mild soap solution, then dry thoroughly. Ensure it is being operated correctly.

Tape appears frayed or damaged

Discontinue use immediately to prevent breakage. Inspect the entire length for damage and consider replacing the lead if significant wear is observed.

Pros

  • Ergonomic and comfortable soft grip.
  • Reliable and responsive braking system for good control.
  • Allows dogs more freedom of movement on walks.
  • Durable construction for longevity.
  • Optional accessories enhance functionality.

Cons

  • Tape can be prone to tangling if not managed properly.
  • Requires proper retraction technique to avoid damage.
  • Braking system may require practice for optimal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Flexi New Comfort lead is ready for use out of the box. Simply attach the carabiner clip to your dog's collar or harness.

Compatibility: This lead is designed for dogs with a maximum load weight of 50 kg. It is available in various lengths (e.g., 8m) and sizes, with specific models suitable for different dog breeds and temperaments. From size M, the grip is adjustable for a better fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or submerging the mechanism in water.
  2. Tape Maintenance: When retracting the tape, guide it gently to prevent it from tangling or snapping back forcefully. If the tape becomes dirty, wipe it down as it retracts.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the tape is fully retracted or loosely coiled to prevent kinks.
