This is such a beautiful leash in addition to being reflective, which is a must for me. While I very rarely use the adjustable feature to shorten the leash, I like having the option to do so. The Talon clip is a lot easier for me to hook & unhook to a collar than Ruffwear's other clip option, but that may just be a mobility issue for me. I really like the padded handle, and being able clip & unclip it to things like my backpack strap or Hip Trail pack is another feature I use all the time. One thing I wish were different was that the reflectivity is only on one side of the leash. I'd prefer, for safety, that both sides of the leash had reflectivity.
