With the use of a sliding side-release buckle, the size of the handle can be extended - allowing you to set your own length. The use of this buckle in the handle means it can also be unclipped, so you can wear the leash around your waist/shoulder or use as a temporary tether. Built into the handle is a D-ring and a barrel lock, ensuring you can attach your favorite accessories when using the leash as a running belt. When in leash mode, the length of the Road Runner Lite is 6 feet.
