I really love this collar, it looks great and is functional. As has been noted in other reviews the magnetic clasp is great. I appreciate the reflective elements in the webbing and my pup appears to be comfortable in it. I believe this is a lifetime collar, it a technical/ functional collar over a designer/ boutique collar. This is my favorite collar right there with the custom designer leather collars my dogs have worn. The only thing I would note is that the finish on the hardware wears off quickly, my pup has only had his collar for a month and a half and significant amounts of finish has come off and we never attach the leash to the collar. I do not mind because I feel it adds an element of patina to the collar, but it should be assumed that the buckle will eventually turn silver.
