Description: Flexi didn't just make a retractable leash — the company invented the category in 1973, starting from a converted chain-saw mechanism, and has manufactured every leash by hand at its Germany headquarters ever since. The New Classic line represents Flexi's core, most widely used retractable design, built around the brand's Short-Stop braking system: a single brake button that responds instantly and can be operated one-handed, giving owners real-time control over how much leash a dog gets without needing two hands or a fumbling grip change. A permanent stop function allows the leash to be locked at a fixed length for heel-walking near traffic or crowds, then released again for open-area exploring, offering flexibility that a fixed-length leash can't match. The New Classic is available in both cord and tape (webbing) versions, with sizing scaled by dog weight from extra-small (up to 18 lbs) through large (up to 110 lbs), and lengths ranging from 10 to 26 feet depending on the size chosen. Ergonomic, contoured handles reduce hand fatigue during longer walks, and the housing accepts optional Flexi accessories like an LED lighting system for nighttime visibility or a Multi Box for carrying waste bags or treats, letting owners customize the leash to their specific walking routine.
