Materials & Craftsmanship

Everything here was decided by the walk, not the spec sheet.

Outer fabric

High-density waterproof nylon. It takes rain, hedges, the corner of a wet bench, and the third puddle he walks straight through. It does not stain and it does not fray.

Inner layer

Soft breathable mesh where the harness meets him. Heat has somewhere to go, which matters on the walks that turn out longer than planned.

Hardware

Stainless steel throughout, rust-proof, with a finish that does not go dull after a winter. Two lead rings: one at the chest for a calmer walk, one at the back for the moments that need more hold.

Fit

Quick-release buckles and steel adjusters. Easy on when he will not stand still, and once it is set, it stays where you set it.

Details

A reinforced handle at the top for crowded pavements and kerbs. Soft binding along every edge, because a harness he wears every day should not be something he notices.
