Material Strength | Large-breed dogs, rugged terrain | Industry Standard: 300N tensile strength Our Base: 400N (ASTM D6298) Our Advanced: 500N ▲ (vs Base) | Base: 33% stronger than standard; Advanced: 66% stronger, ideal for extreme pulls | Advanced version may be slightly bulkier due to reinforced core |
Ergonomics/Comfort | Long walks, hiking | Industry Standard: Flat handle Our Base: Soft-grip coating (ASTM F2928) Our Advanced: Padded ergonomic design ▲ (30% less hand fatigue) | Reduces strain; Advanced improves grip in wet conditions | Base lacks padding for prolonged use; Advanced adds cost |
Visibility/Safety | Nighttime walks, low-light environments | Industry Standard: No reflective elements Our Base: 150cd/lux/m² reflective stripe (EN 13356) Our Advanced: 360° reflective ▲ (doubles visibility) | Base meets safety standards; Advanced ensures visibility from all angles | Reflective materials may fade over time with UV exposure |
Durability | Active dogs, frequent use | Industry Standard: 1000 flex-test cycles Our Base: 1500 cycles passed Our Advanced: 2000 cycles ▲ (2x lifespan) | Base outlasts standard by 50%; Advanced resists abrasion in rocky terrains | Advanced requires occasional inspections for wear-and-tear |
Weight | Lightweight needs (e.g., travel) | Industry Standard: 200g Our Base: 180g (lightweight nylon) Our Advanced: 220g ▲ (reinforced core) | Base 10% lighter than standard; Advanced balances strength with 20% weight gain | Advanced may feel heavier for users prioritizing minimalism |
Shock Absorption | Pulling dogs, off-leash training | Industry Standard: None Our Base: Braided design (10% shock reduction) Our Advanced: Coiled shock core ▲ (30% reduction) | Base eases sudden pulls; Advanced minimizes wrist strain during sprints | Advanced adds bulk; Base may stretch slightly under pressure |
