Have a question? We are happy to help.
How do I choose the right leash?
It comes down to preference. The Explorer is our lightest, most supple rope, perfect if you want something easy in hand or less weight in your bag. The Classic is our signature leash, substantial and stylish. The Outrider is rugged and heavy-duty, designed for those who prefer a more solid rope in hand. All are available with matching collars.
Can the leashes get wet?
Yes. Our ropes are weather-resistant and built for real adventures. Rain, snow, or river crossings — your leash will hold up beautifully.
What makes Trail Ridge leashes different?
Each leash is handcrafted from premium rope, finished with elegant hardware, and offered in striking colors. Even the thread we use is the same heavy-duty material reserved for sewing sails on the world’s finest yachts. Built to be both beautiful and durable, our leashes are works of art designed for daily use.
Do you give back to rescues?
Yes. Every purchase includes a $5 donation to the rescue organization you choose at checkout.
