Why it matters
The martingale uses Tubelok webbing (18% recycled) with an ITW Nexus Airloc buckle so it clips on rather than going over the head. Reflective strips and stitching add visibility, pressure spreads evenly to avoid chafing, and a micro-adjustable slide lock keeps the fit. This size fits 14–17 in necks.
