Description
The Waist Lead is made using 2 layers of durable mil-spec webbing to create a strong, tactical dog leash similar to our Defender Standard Lead. The addition of a solid ring on the handle and common 34”, 36”, 38”, and 42” waist sizes allow the handler to wear the lead around his or her waist when not in use. This heavy-duty K9 waist leash is designed for Military (MWD), Police (LEO), Personal Protection, and Schutzhund (IPO) Working Dogs.
Stainless Swivel Snap
Our custom standard swivel snap is black coated stainless steel. The round slot design allows for an additional 180 degrees of movement—this means the lead can articulate on a double axis to further reduce tangles or accidental un-clippings.
Frog-Style Clip
Made of aluminum, this is our lightest weight attachment option and is inherently rustproof. This attachment option uses redundant release tabs that must be depressed simultaneously to open the clip. The design virtually eliminates the possibility of cross-loading and accidental unclippings.
Upgrade: Kong Frog with Swivel
This climbing rated hardware uses a redundant release mechanism, meaning both release tabs have to be depressed simultaneously to open—this prevents accidental unclipping of the lead. An in-line swivel is added to help prevent tangles.
1.5" Clip-In Point
This Daisy Chain style clip-in point allows for a standard climbing carabiner to be used as a secondary clip-in option.
Upgrade: Additional Clip-In Points
Additional clip in points are sewn into the lead (approximately every 1ft). These clip-in points accommodate a standard climbing carabiner and can be used to shorten the lead, clip in accessories, clip the lead back to itself, or a variety of other uses.
Stainless Handle Ring
A 1" free-floating, black coated stainless steel, ring comes on the handle. The ring allows a handler to attach the snap and wear the lead around the waist. However the ring can also be used to attach a carabiner or our TDL shackle or it can be used to clip in another lead (for additional length).
Upgrade: Embroidery
A personalized name can be added with embroidery.
Overview
.
Poor sizing.
Ordered a 34” waist lead because that’s what size waist I wear. It came and is about 6-8” too short. Not even close to being able to clip it around my waist. However the material and custom embroidery is nice.
Hi,
Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you are having problems with the fitmit of your waist lead. Please note that while waist leads are offered in waist sizes the length lead you need will be determined on the enviornment in which you intend to use the lead. For example, if you are in law enforcment and wear a duty belt and/or bulletproof vest, or if you tend to wear heavy coats, you will need to account for that extra bulk in your measurements. So very rarely would a waist lead correpond to your pant size (unless you intend to wear it on your natural waist without any bukly clothing). Even then, the best way is to wear whatever gear and clothing you would typically, then use a tailor’s tape (or a peiece of string that you lay along a tape measure) to see what length lead you need. Our waist lead lengths are ‘true to size’ so, for example, if you measure a 36′ waist lead it will measure 36′ from the end of the snap to the ring on the lead. These sizing instructions are also listed on the sizing tab for this product. The method of measuring ensures each handler gets just the right length for their specific needs. If you need help with sizing or have any questions please let our support team know. Thanks!

Ability to make this smaller or bigger to fit more than one person, or not have to fit one person exactly, would make this product perfect.
Hi Jay,
Thanks for your feedback. Adjustability would be a nice feature. Unfortunately, doing so would without some heavy-duty and expensive hardware would impact the strength of the lead. While we may not be able to incorporate it into our waist lead, we might be able to offer a different adjustable lead in the future. Please subscribe to our newsletter for product updates and let us know if you have any other suggestions. Thanks!
Waist lead
Quality of this lead is unmatched.
Great leash love my purchase
Love!
I love how the orange color pops on this lead. Great quality and it just feels good in my hand! Perfect size.
Thanks so much for the review! You had purchased both a waist lead and a coastal lead. Based on your description (of the orange color) you had probably intended to leave a review on the coastal lead. We are so glad it is working well for you and hope the wait lead is as well. Thanks, Modern Icon Support Team.
