Flexi Fun Tape 5m

The Flexi Fun Tape 5m is a retractable dog lead known for its lightweight, "pocket-format" design. While it shares the same core mechanics as the Black Design model you previously asked about, the Fun series is often marketed as a more streamlined, value-focused entry in the Flexi lineup.

Description & Key Features

• Tape Length: 5 meters (approx. 16 feet), using a flat ribbon (tape) that retracts smoothly into the housing.

• Braking System: Equipped with the standard Flexi "short-stroke" braking system, allowing you to stop or lock the lead with a single thumb movement.

• Portability: The "Fun" series is specifically noted for being extra light and compact, making it easier to carry during long walks.

• Compatibility: Unlike the Black Design or New Comfort models, the Fun series is often a basic model that may not support the Multi Box or LED light attachments (depending on the specific generation).

Size & Weight Capacity

The "Fun" series is categorized by the weight of the dog to ensure the internal spring and tape can handle the force of a pull.

Flexi Fun vs. Black Design

If you are deciding between the two:

• Flexi Fun: Best if you want a no-frills, lightweight lead. It usually comes in solid colors like Red, Blue, and Black.

• Black Design: Best if you want a sleeker aesthetic and the ability to attach accessories like a poop bag holder or a flashlight directly to the handle.

Maintenance Tip

Because the "Fun" model is designed for portability, its housing can be slightly smaller. To keep the retraction smooth, ensure the tape is completely dry before letting it retract. If it gets muddy, wipe it with a damp cloth as it retracts to prevent grit from entering the internal spring mechanism.
