Outstanding leash
This is excellent for trail hiking. The hands-free aspect works perfectly - adjusts easily and securely to stay put around your waist. The "give" of the bungee (not just a thin elastic band) is just right and helps both man and beast maintain proper balance. With the secure buckle, both hand-hold loop mode and waist loop mode allow for quick and easy securing of leash with items from a tree trunk to a car door handle (- tie your boots without having to hold leash at the same time). Extremely well made of quality components. Only caveat is to be aware that a size L with a 20 pound or less dog is just too big - both functionally speaking and simply in terms of looking odd. So, even if you really want the extra reach the size L gives you, it is probably best to go with size S (and loose a bit of reach) if you have a small pooch.

Great for Running
I have a border collie puppy that I'm teaching to run along side me. This leash is perfect! I can strap this around my waist and the leash allows him to roam a little bit.

Great leash
This is a great overall leash. I use it to run with my young dog who is still learning how to run on the leash. It is very comfortable! It is also easy to hook up to just about anything if the need arises.

Great for hiking
I really like this leash for hiking. Gives your dog the little extra to roam when you can't have them off leash. I wouldn't recommend this on the street since it is harder to control your dog from extending but great for elsewhere!

Best Leash Ever Invented
The hands free option of Walking your dog is great. You can run, ride a bike and walk with your dog and you have enough personal space. I have bought a similar leash from another company which was a little cheaper which broke, so the Roamer Leash is the way to go even though it might be a couple of extra bucks. It's worth the investment.
