When you've got to leash or unleash your dog quickly, nothing works better than a Just-a-Cinch Leash.

It just loops over the dog's head and the pet is secure. I've been using one for years on the trail and out hunting.

Ruffwear's Just-a-Cinch Leash is made of kermantle rope, it has a cinch design that keeps the dog under control and a friction slider that gives the loop a secure fit on the dog.

Our dog has slipped out of her collar before. With a cinch leash, our dog would not have escaped and gotten in trouble.

The leash also features a tubular webbing handle, accessory loop for pickup bags or other clip-ons and is reflective for low-light situations. The leash comes in several colors and costs $24.95.

The warmer can be paused by storing it in an air-tight, resealable bag.

Its pouch is reusable and includes one warmer, which is disposable and can be replaced.
