Our good friends over at Peak Design has just relaunched the Leash, Cuff and Anchor Links. The Leash and Cuff not only come in black but it now comes in Ash as well. They also look a lot more stylish and higher quality (slightly more thicker and tighter weave). The predecessors functioned well but didn't fit well with Peak Designs current product line.
The Leash has new hardware, Hypalon quick-adjuster and slides much smoother.
The Cuff also has new hardware, a magnetic clasp and adjuster system. There's three modes:
- Open Mode - the loop just stays open so you can easily slide your hand in and out quickly and easily.
- Cinched Mode - if you pull on the wrist strap, it will cinch and tighten around your wrist for added security.
- Bracelet Mode - there is a magnetic clasp that lets you wear the Cuff like a bracelet. There is a magnet inside the strap that you can slide and adjust accordingly.
The new Anchor Links are just as strong as the predecessor but is half the thickness which can fit through the eyelets of smaller cameras. The "pucks" are also slightly more angled for easy connecting. But don't worry, these new Anchors are backwards compatible with all your current Peak Design straps.
The 2017 Leash, Cuff and Anchor Links are available for purchase starting August 15 from any of these retailers:
