I have one in each color - I have three dogs to walk! The metal clasp is very strong and secure which is great as I'm walking is about 250 pounds total! The weather has been super cold, so I've had to wear heavy mittens. The hand loops were too small, so all I did was move the knot down a bit to make the loop bigger, easy to do. When the weather gets warm again, I'll move the knots back. I love these leashes.
