Drivers at night do not see dogs. They see movement they can interpret, and a dog at knee height, off to one side, in dark fur, is the part of the picture that resolves last — often after the person holding the lead has already been seen.
This is a chest harness and lead together, with reflective thread running the full length of both. Under headlights that reads as a moving line rather than a shape a driver has to work out, and a line is recognised considerably faster. It is built for the two walks that happen in the dark for months of the year, before work and after it.
The harness spreads the load across the chest instead of the throat, and the lead is a fixed length rather than a retractable, which is the right choice near traffic — a retractable gives a dog several metres of road before you can do anything about it.
Four sizes and four colours. Sizing is by chest measurement, so measure around the widest part of the ribcage before choosing, and check the fit with two fingers flat under the strap.
Reflective thread only works if something is shining at it. It is not a substitute for a lit collar or a clip-on light on an unlit road.

How this helps
Reflective thread running the full length of the lead reads as a moving line under headlights, which is far quicker to recognise than a shape. It supports being seen on the two walks that happen in the dark for months of the year.
