Polypropylene + Latex

Material

  • Price

    Low

    The most affordable option. When you need many pieces at a reasonable price, this is the right choice.

  • Strength

    Low

    Suitable for decorative elements and light accessories where no pulling is expected. May bend or break under a sharp jerk.

  • Water

    Fully waterproof

    Wet it, submerge it, leave it in water — fresh water will not harm it. No drying or treatment needed; water does not affect function or appearance.

  • Weight

    Light

    Low weight that does not restrict movement. Not perceived by the dog or owner even during all-day wear.

Allergy risk No risk Contains no nickel or other known contact allergens and does not release them during wear. Safe for sensitive skin without restriction.
Aging Minor changes Over time slight dulling or minor surface changes may occur. This does not affect function, but is visible on closer inspection.
Maintenance Maintenance-free No special care needed. Just rinse with water or wipe with a cloth — that is all.

What polypropylene with latex is

Polypropylene webbing woven with latex (rubber) threads. The rubber does two things: it stretches and it grips in the hand.

Why we use it

For rubberised webbing on training and tracking leashes and harnesses used for pulling – it absorbs jerks and doesn't slip in your hand even when wet.

When to choose it and when to look elsewhere

  • Hand-held leashes – a secure grip in any weather.
  • Pulling sports – the stretch spares the dog's joints and the handler's arm.

Where you want zero stretch (say, a short leash held close to the leg), take plain polyester instead.

How it ages and how to care for it

Water doesn't matter, it dries fast. The rubber threads lose some elasticity over time – the grip stays.

Good to know

The same principle is offered by the cotton version of rubberised webbing – softer in the hand, but slower to dry.
