A few weeks ago I was given a SportDOG training product, which had filtered through from our company in the U.S.A. for evaluation.
Although I tried it for tracking, I have to stress that it is a check cord, not a tracking leash, but is a great tool for exercising and training dogs. Lightweight and easy to coil and carry, this high-visibility 30 foot orange check cord is soft on your hands and tangle-free to prevent knots that get hung up on brush. With a heavy-duty brass snap, you're in confident control during training sessions.
It is very tactile, and doesn't get caught up easily. It does get slightly heavier when soaking wet, but dries out well, and I get the feeling that it will last a long time. The only things that I didn't like was that it had no reminder about a meter from the end to let you know that it is about to slip out of your hands, and that it was a bit shorter than what I have been using, other than that a great product.
