Padded, dual-clip, and built for miles — when the budget harness wore out
About $40–$60
Ruffwear Front Range is what people graduate to after burning through budget harnesses. Padded chest/belly, two leash points, and ID pocket. Still: front clip helps manners; it does not replace loose-leash training.
Who it's for: Active dogs and owners who walk daily in all weather.
Skip if: Puppy still growing fast — buy a cheaper adjustable first.
Alternatives with different tradeoffs — not clones of the same pitch.
