The neoprene on this lead is on the handle loop only. The metre of webbing running down to the dog is plain 12mm poly-weave. So the padding is doing nothing for the dog at all — it is protecting your palm and fingers from a narrow strap under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is genuinely useful on a 12mm lead, which Ancol rate for dogs up to 20kg. A narrow strap concentrates force into a thin line across the hand, and an unpadded 12mm handle is the one people quietly stop using. If you want padding working for the dog rather than for you, that is the collar's job, not the lead's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCushioned neoprene padded handle — the padding is on the loop you hold, not on the webbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12mm width, which Ancol rate for dogs up to 20kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1m length for close control on pavements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finish snap hook.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, weatherproof poly-weave webbing, washable at 30°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic-free, widely recyclable packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs up to 20kg on Ancol's guidance for this width.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who finds a bare narrow handle uncomfortable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall hands — a padded 12mm loop fills the palm without being bulky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTown and pavement walking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor padding that protects the dog rather than the handler, add a padded collar — the Ancol Viva Padded Dog Collar Pink 35-43cm Size 4 is the matching pink.
