Ruffwear Roamer™ Lead | Stretch Dog Lead for Running & Nordic Walking
Freedom to roam, control when you need it.
The Ruffwear Roamer™ Lead is the ultimate adjustable stretch dog lead for active dogs and their humans. Designed for running, hiking, and Nordic Walking, this dynamic lead features Wavelength™ stretch webbing that absorbs sudden pulls and allows your dog a wider roaming range – without losing connection.
You can use it hand-held or clip it around your waist for a hands-free experience, keeping your dog comfortably out in front and clear of your walking poles during Nordic Walking or Canicross sessions.
A side-release buckle with an aluminium uniloop makes waist-wearing secure and easy to adjust, while Ruffwear’s Talon Clip™ gives you a strong and secure connection to your dog.
With premium touches like a padded handle, accessory loop (for poo bags or clip-ons), and colourfast webbing, the Roamer™ is built for years of adventure.
