Which Leash and Collar Are Right For Your Dog?

Which Leash and Collar Are Right For Your Dog?

From kicking up dust on the trails and summiting mountains, to flushing birds in the field and working hard on the job, there’s one thing all dogs need - gear built for greatness. As dog owners first, Rex Specs collars and leashes were designed with your dog in mind. With each collar and leash crafted for different environments and levels of adventure, here's a breakdown to help you pick the best gear for your dog.

Bighorn Blue Trailhead Collar in-use

Trailhead Series

Born out of a love for doing more, together, the Trailhead Series combines versatility and functionality to make the ultimate gear for adventure. If your dog like to tear up the trails, hike through forests, and kick up powder behind the bike, the Trailhead Series is the one for you.

Trailhead Collar

Trailhead Collars are crafted from durable nylon webbing and lightweight buckles for strength and ease on the trails. These collars feature a unique parallel leash attachment point that is counterbalanced by the tags and buckle that help keep the attachment point on the top of the neck for easy leash clipping access. The collar and leash attachment are a continuous loop of webbing which limits opportunity for weakness and provides security. 

Crux Collar

For dogs who may be pullers or owners looking for added durability, the Crux Collar takes the Trailhead to the next level. This collar includes all of the design features of the Trailhead Collar, with the addition of a heavy-duty, quick release titanium buckle and aluminum tri-glide hardware. 

Trailhead Leash

The Trailhead Leash comes in two styles: Single Snap and Dual Snap. 

Single Snap Trailhead Leashes do all the basics, just a little bit better. This leash features durable yet lightweight nylon, a neoprene padded handle, and oversized stainless steel hardware. 8” of daisy chain loops just below the handle provide the perfect option for clipping the leash around your body when your dog is enjoying off leash freedom, or tying up poo bags on the go.

Dual Snap Trailhead Leashes are built to be the “multi-tool” of all leashes. Featuring durable, lightweight nylon, a daisy chain loop system that spans the entire 8ft leash length, and oversized, stainless steel hardware on each end. The innovative loop system and double snap hooks allows for maximum adjustability and versatility. Wrap it around your torso for off leash adventures, loop it over your shoulder for easy hands-free leash walks, clip one end of the leash to the loop system to make a handle of any length for use with one dog, or walk two dogs comfortably.

All-Weather Series

Built from Rex Specs’ exclusive Brahma Webb® material, this gear is your go-to choice for taking on the toughest excursions with the right mix of protection and comfort whether your pup is high tailing it down muddy hills, plowing through fresh pow on the slopes, or diving into the lake.

Weather Resistant Brahma Webb Collar

Low maintenance Brahma Webb material makes the Weather Resistant Brahma Collar durable, water-proof, stink-proof, and weather-proof. Anodized aluminum hardware is built for dogs who are hard on their gear. These collars are soft and pliable, offering superior durability even in freezing temperatures. To keep you out on the trails, Brahma is easy to clean by rinsing or wiping with damp cloth. 

Weather Resistant Brahma Leash 

The Weather Resistant Brahma Leash is water-proof, stink-proof, weather-proof, durable, and easy to clean. It offers all of the same great qualities as the collar and is equipped with a strong anodized aluminum snap for quick and smooth leashing up.

Legacy Series

Handcrafted in the USA from the finest harness and bridle leathers, these collars and leashes are perfect for dogs who are tough on their gear, but also like to look classy. Whether you’re on the job, hitting the trails, or going on a weekday walk, the Legacy Series looks as good as it performs. 

Rolled Leather and Hybrid Leather Collars and Leashes

Rex Specs Leather Collars and Leashes come in two styles: Rolled and Hybrid.

Rolled Leather
Rolled Leather Collars were thoughtfully designed to prevent matting and tangles on dogs with long coats, while maintaining their strength and weather resistance. No snagging or tangles make for a comfortable wearing experience no matter the activity. Precise stitching and aluminum finished hardware keep these collars strong. The Rolled Leather Leash offers the same durable hardware, classic stitching, and weather resistance.

Hybrid Leather

Hybrid Leather Collars boast an industry-first design that provides the even pressure distribution of a flat collar with the no-tangle benefits of a rolled collar. Constructed from thick English Bridle leather, aluminum finished hardware, and carefully stitched, these collars are water resistant and can withstand work and play. The Hybrid Leather Leash offers the same durable hardware, classic stitching, and weather resistance.

Trail’s End & Wanderer Series

Made for dogs who are weekend warriors and neighborhood walkers, the Trail’s End Series and Wanderer Series are perfect for the epic and the everyday. 

Trail’s End Collar & Leash

Trail’s End Collars are carefully crafted from rugged, climbing grade tubular nylon webbing that makes them ready to stand up to outdoor adventures. Durable, aluminum quick release buckles provide security and ensure your dog’s collar won’t come off in crucial moments. An anodized aluminum d-ring provides a secure leash attachment point. Each Trail’s End collar comes in an array of on-trend patterns, pairing fun with functionality.

Trail’s End Leashes, like their collar counterparts, are created with climbing grade tubular nylon. They feature an anodized aluminum d-ring at the base of the handle that’s perfect for tying poo bags or clipping keys on the go. A chrome snap at the end of the leash makes for easy leashing on the go.

Wanderer Collar & Leash

The Wanderer Collar and Leash feature all of the same great benefits as the Trail’s End Collar and Leash, but are made from a lightweight, durable, woven nylon webbing. This webbing boasts fun and colorful designs that are woven into the webbing and won’t fade or fray. 

Climber Series

If you’re searching for a leash or slip lead that can withstand daily adventures in harsh terrains and your sidewalk training session, look no further than the Climber Leash and Climber Slip Lead.

Climber Leash

Climber Leashes are made from round braided climbing style rope and finished with an antique black scissor snap; this leash has a finished, refined look. Genuine leather is sewn around the ends of the leash for added durability and good looks. These leashes pair nicely with our core goggle colors.

Climber Slip Lead

Like the Climber Leash, the Climber Slip Lead is made with heavy-duty, round, braided rope and genuine leather is sewn on both ends. Each slip lead features a durable Brahma Webb slide that makes the collar end fully adjustable, as well as a stainless steel ring that slides easily along the rope for enhanced communication during training. 

Built for Your Dog

No matter the adventure, Rex Specs gear was designed with your dog in mind. Built for adventuring through water, mud, sand, snow, and more, while keeping your partner safe and secure.
