Product Information
Full details
The Ruffwear Front Range Flex Leash is designed for active dog owners who prioritize comfort and a responsive connection during daily walks and adventures. By utilizing technical knitted mesh, this leash provides a lightweight, soft-touch feel with subtle elasticity that absorbs shock and enhances the walking experience for both canine and human. While its flexible nature is excellent for comfort, it may feel too dynamic for owners who prefer a completely static, high-tension leash for training or heavy-duty pulling control.

FAQs
Is the leash suitable for heavy pullers?
While the material is strong, the leash is designed for flexibility and comfort. For dogs that pull excessively, a more static, heavy-duty leash may be more appropriate for training purposes.
Can I use the accessory loop for a leash?
No, the accessory loop is intended for lightweight items like waste bags or small clip-on lights only. Never attach a leash or dog lead to this loop.
How do I lock the Crux Clip?
Slide the locking mechanism on the gate of the carabiner until it clicks into the closed position. Always verify the lock is engaged before starting your walk.
Is this leash waterproof?
The mesh is highly water-resistant and quick-drying, but it is not completely waterproof like rubberized leashes. It handles wet conditions well and will not hold water weight like traditional cotton leashes.
What is the leash length?
The Front Range Flex Leash typically measures 5 feet (1.5 meters) in total length, providing a balance of freedom and control.
Troubleshooting
Crux Clip feels stiff or hard to operate
Rinse the clip with fresh water to remove any grit, sand, or debris that may have collected in the swivel mechanism.
Mesh material looks frayed
Use a lighter to very briefly singe the stray threads, taking care not to burn the main webbing, to prevent further unravelling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the leash is straightforward: simply attach the Crux Clip to your dog's harness or collar D-ring and engage the locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection. To keep the leash in top condition, it is recommended to hand wash it using mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can degrade the synthetic fibers. Always air dry the leash in the shade, as prolonged exposure to direct, intense UV light can weaken materials over many years of heavy use. If the leash becomes caked in mud, allow it to dry fully, then brush away the debris before performing a light cleaning.
