The Ruffwear Hi & Light has two lead attachments, hidden pockets and a 54 g build in the XXXS listing; here is who it suits and where it falls short.
Reflective trim only works when headlights hit it. Here is how to combine reflective gear, lights and lead habits so drivers and cyclists can see you both.
Two chest-attachment harnesses with different priorities: the PetSafe Easy Walk is about steering, the Ruffwear Hi & Light about low weight and storage.
