I don't know how you're rigging these if they're coming off, but it's never happened to me, and I've taken some gnarly crashes. OK, when I say never, really I mean that the only time it's ever happened to me is when I caught a ski on a gate and my binding popped and it ripped the rivet out of my boot. So that doesn't count. A leash is a very basic piece of equipment, it has to hold your skis on. This one does that without fail and is designed by the geniuses at BD so you can put it on and take it off with gloves on. Perfect.

On a side note, clipping someone's leashes to their opposite boot while they're standing somewhere is, though tricky, priceless.

These frayed over the course of 50+ BC use in VT. The little fibers unraveled & screwed with my pants hem, and would tear your fingers if I fiddled bare-handed. SOLUTION: use 5mm p-cord for climbing; just tie yourself a big loop, run it trhough your binding hole with an overhand bight knot and then throw the loop onto/around your toe buckle. Never had any issues with p-cord cutting my pants or fingers, nor with its tensile strength or durability.

I have been using these for about 30 ski days. They are a breeze to use, I can clip and unclip very quickly even with my gloves on. I have not run into any problems at all and they are the perfect length for BD O1's with BD boots (surprisingly.)

When people have said this comes undone they mean the clip lets go of the D ring while you are skiing. I liked the length since it didn't have a lot of excess but I think the stiffness of the wire is what managed to 'push' the D ring through the edge of the spring loaded gate. This clip is light and easy to use but I would rather use something that is heavier and stays on

Simple wire-gate clip design is easy to use with your gloves on. Huge plus. I use them with O1's and O2's with Scarpa T1 boots and the length is just right. The leashes don't get in the way. However, The plastic coating has gotten brittle and come off the cable on one of them, but this doesn't affect how well they work.

Not only are these stylee and burly, but they also are the most functional. The coping around the cable keeps them stiff, unlike the floppy and crappy G3 15 pound clasps. They are twice as burly as the Voile leashes. For those who say they come undone. Try one of two things: Alpine Trekkers, or snowboarding. Maybe they come off with smaller boots or side-mount leashes. I love 'em.

I don't think any tele skier enjoys having to hook into a leash, it's just a manual task we've all become accustomed to that seems to take more energy than 200 lunges downhill. I'm in and out of my bindings 10 times a day doing patrol chores, so I've become picky about the leashes I use. I switch between two pairs of skis, one with the G3 leash and one with the BD leash. I can consistently get in and out of the BD leashes with my gloves on and without hassle. I spend about half the time with them as I do with the G3 leashes. They are easy and reliable. I'm replacing the G3 leashes with the BD leashes.

This leash is da bomb!! It never ices up, and it is plenty long to get to any boot with any binding. I've never heard of one breaking, and simply apply pressure to the pivoting wire, and you're hooked in.

Much better than most others as far as quick in and out. Havent come unclipped on me. A note, I have a sz. 31 boot and at first didnt think these would fit. I gave them a chance and they are literally perfect with almost not extra leash to get caught and send me for a ride.

Don't waste time with the G3 plastic leash... they didn't fit my Scarpa boots (figure that, aren't Scarpa's one of the top MFG's of tele boots?)

So, I bought these - right price, easy fit.

Now if it only would start snowing here in October!

This leash broke when my binding broke on area. Leashes are supposed to be able to perform when you have binding issues. I had only used them 10 times at most since I am mostly in the backcountry. Several friends have had these fray and break on them also.

These leashes work very well with my G3 Baron-Rotafella Cobra-Scarpa T2 set up. The clip is easy to use, the leash never seems to be in the way, and I have no doubts about the strength. Great general use leashes.

These have come undone multiple times without my doing. I do not recommend them. That's why I'm shopping online for new leashes.

Try clipping them on with the gate side out. It will make them come undone way less. (about the same amount of unclips as other types) I have had this problem with every brand, but these are the most durable for sure.

I bought these after being fed up with skiing over the top of my chronically un-clipped leashes (they were made by another prominent tele brand). By mounting these with the gate out I have yet to unclip (using Garmont boots on G3 bindings).

I was kind of worried about how durable this thing would be after having many problems with other ski leashes. But after using it this winter I love it. Not too heavy, never ices over, and solid.

Best leash on the market. It doesn't freeze, hasn't broken, quick to get on. Every tele set up I have uses this leash; BD O3's, G3's, hammerheads, etc.

This leash works well with a setup of a Karhu 7TM all mountain binding and Scarpa T3 boots. No complaints. Easy to hook up, and no false release.

Haven't had to use them yet, but they went on easy and don't get in the way. Seem to be built bullet-proof.

The Black Diamond ClipWire Ski Leash is simple to use and the clip is really user friendly. I had no real issues clipping and unclipping them with gloves. Great product for a good price!

I bought these ski leashes for use with my Voile harwire bindings and Size 13 US Scarpa T1s. However, I had to return them because they were not long enough to clip on to the boot's D-ring. Customer service was very helpful when I asked for help.

simple leash holds well & is very easy to work with gloves.
No other leash comes close.

I really like these, for the ease on and off, except when hanging upside down with your ski stuck in a tree in deep powder. They are really sturdy and kept me hanging in the tree for quite awhile.

I bought these ski leashes for use with my Voile bindings and Size 280 from Scarpa T1s.
They were not convenient long enough to clip on to the boot's D-ring.
Perfect Product? ...but should 2-3cm longer, I mounted an additional ring (normally for keys) and I´m very happy with this high quality product.

they work great! very easy to put on and take off with gloves on. my only negative observation is the plastic wire sleeve has begun to tear on a pair that are only used one season. i recently got some for my wife and another pair for myself. we'll see how they perform.

Been using these for a while now. Nothing negative to say about them, they're easy to get on and off never had any problems with icing and also stay out of the way. Not much more you can say or ask for in a cable leash. Taken some brutal falls on them as well and no problems at all.

These leashes are certainly well made and hold up nicely to abuse. They are a bit awkward using with the leash clip location on the T1's but that has more to do with the location of that on those boots. Once they are on, they work fine. They work great on other boots. A good investment. Better than a runaway ski.
