This pick comes in a choice of two sizes. Speaking of, if you plan on wearing this in the cold weather, don't forget to add a couple of inches to your measurements. It closes securely with a welded stainless steel O-ring and a solid brass bolt snap that’s easy to work, even with gloves on in the winter. It’s not only gentle on your back it also helps hold the belt in place on your hips, as the manufacturer stresses that this belt isn’t made to be worn around the waist like other picks.

With a soft fleece inner padding, this three-inch wide belt scores high marks for comfort. The Magic Link is available in two different sizes and nine colors: light blue, green, dark grey, red, ivory, navy, blush, black, and slate. The only real downside is that its non-woven cord construction means it doesn't have the little bit of give and flex found in many other nylon or rope leashes. The Magic Link is made from brushed cord and matte black aluminum hardware, allowing it to withstand hundreds of pounds of pull force. The portion that attaches to your dog can also be used as a collar in itself, making this an all-in-one-walking package. But the Magic Link's defining feature is its flexibility, since its adjustable loop can be expanded or retracted to create multiple configurations, allowing you to wear the leash around your waist, diagonally across your body, or as a traditional wrist loop. The Fable Magic Link is a little pricier than other hand-free leashes we recommend, but its minimalist design, durability, and attractive range of colors makes it standout.
