awsome leash and collar
I would stick to this brand because of its high quality.

Excellent
Ruffwear always has great gear. Adjustable so you can wear it around your waste and keep your hands free.

Some great ideas were incorporated into this collar/leash set
The ability to secure the leash around your waist or a tree is an absolute necessity. If you don't know that now, you will realize it after you start using the leash. Sure you can loop a standard leash by threading through the hand loop, but this one won't slip wider and fall down to your ankles. Also, the short loop by the collar is a great idea for getting the dog under control in a tight situation. As for the collar, I like it a lot too. I didn't see the point of keeping the tags on a separate ring, but it is actually nice because tags don't clutter the D ring when you put the leash on.

I love this leash!
The best thing about this leash is that it unclips at the handle so that you can hook your dog up to a pole or tree if you need to go hands free for a moment. Just the other day I was at a park and we sat down at a picnic table and we were able to attach our dog to the table leg and not have to worry about holding on to her! How great! The only problem I found was that I ordered the collar in a size too big. I should have measured first! Oh well, hopefully she will grow into it.

Good leash and collar
Strong and lightweight. The separate loop for dog tags is nice it keeps tags from clanking with the leash clip on walks. The snap hook at end of leash is great if you need to tie the dog up to a pole or bench for a short time. Overall better quality and cheaper than what you would pay at a pet super store.
