Insights from A to Z
THINGS YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE BRAND
This is where you find answers to all the curli details you always wanted to know.
A
ADVANTAGE OVER COLAR

The harness should not sit too loosely on the dog‘s body, ideally you should be able to put one finger between the harness and the dog. The Velcro provides leeway for this.
Air-Mesh cooling effect

All harnesses with Air-Mesh material have a cooling effect as an additional function when soaked with water.
The stored water between the fabrics acts as a heat exchanger and keeps your dog cool even on hot summer days.
Air Mesh material

In addition to high air permeability, the air mesh material also provides a pleasant cooling effect when the harness is immersed in cold water. Perfect for hot summer days!
Apple Leather

Apple leather is a hybrid, plant-based leather. It is made from by-products of apple juice extraction, reducing the use of non-renewable raw materials and CO2 emissions.
Apple leather is animal-friendly, very high quality and offers many advantages over conventional leather – it is softer and easy to clean, among others.
C
Car Safety Belt

Car Safety Belt with Twist Connection – The Twist Connection between the carabiner and nylon strap on the Car Safety Belt prevents the belt from twisting up when the dog moves in the car.
This ensures that the dog is securely fastened with optimum freedom of movement.
Cord
The Vest Harness Cord is trendy yet durable. Cord is originated in Manchester, England and was used for work clothes of miners and has become a ruggedly elegant fashion classic. With the Vest Harness Cord, you and your dog are sure to make a stylish appearance! Â

curli Size Chart

The Quick-Lock safety carabiner can be operated with one single hand – and quickly and easily attached to different locations in the car.
curli 2% Rule
We know that a harness should never weigh more than 2% of the dog‘s body weight. However, many harnesses on the market are in fact many times heavier!
This is as if you were wearing a 5-8 kg (11-17 lbs) jacket every day. That‘s why all curli harnesses are designed to be extra light and below the 2% mark.
D
DogFinder

The Dogfinder ID is integrated in every curli Harness. It helps to find a lost dog faster. The curli Dogfinder offers dog owners the possibility to register a dog in a central database, so that runaway dogs can be easily identified.
E
Ergonomic Fit

Thanks to the curli Tailored Ergo Fit, curli Harnesses fit securely and comfortably and do not restrict the dog‘s freedom of movement.
Every curli harness has been developed down to the smallest detail to provide perfect ergonomics.
Fit, freedom of movement and wearing comfort are optimally adapted to the needs of the dog.
Easy Grip Buckle

The Easy Grip Buckle has been specially developed for the Belka Harness and the requirements of leashing medium
to large sized dogs. The curli Easy Grip Buckle does not have to be let go when opening and closing the harness like conventional buckles, but can instead be kept in the hand, which offers more control.
F
Form Stability

The form stability of the dogharness says a lot about its quality – put a curli harness in front of you – it does not lie flat – thanks to the processing of several layers of air mesh material.
H
Harness Sizing
The harness should not sit too loosely on the dog‘s body, ideally you should be able to put one finger between the harness and the dog. The Velcro provides leeway for this.
Harness Specialists
As mountain sports specialists, we know how important trust, reliable equipment and good communication are. With this experience and a typically Swiss passion for details, we develop your curli harnesses.
Harness Weight

Most dog harnesses are way too heavy! We recommend a maximum weight of 2% of the dog‘s body weight for harnesses – our curli Harnesses are well below the recommended maximum weight.
Why using a harness instead of a leash

We made a conscious decision to develop dog harnesses instead of collars, because the health and well-being of your dog is the be-all and end-all of our designs.
With a harness, you can guide your dog without choking him, injuring the sensitive neck area and putting your pet under stress.
I
Innovation

First to market innovation – We drive innovation and shape our industry since 2012 with innovative products, numerous patents as well as convincing sales and marketing concepts.
L
Leash Attachment Points

A harness sits deeper than a collar and distributes the tensile force over a significantly larger area, thus protecting the dog‘s extremely sensitive neck region.
Limited Edition

The annual Limited Edition of the curli Vest Harness is eagerly awaited every year and is a real collectible item.
The Limited Edition picks up on current trends in terms of color and design. This year it scores with a trendy Comic Collection.
Luumi LED – Blue light

The very bright blue light of Luumi LEDs is rarely found in the natural environment compared to yellow and red light. Therefore, it attracts special attention and thus offers special protection in the dark.
luumi LED Lights

The bright luumi LED lights ensure the best visibility with the blue light, are ultra-light with only 10g and also splash-proof. After about 400 hours of lighting (flashing), the batteries can be easily replaced.
M
Merino Wool

Merino wool remains odorless, does not charge electrostatically, has a natural sun protection factor of up to 50 and is suitable for both cold and warm days – perfect for our Merino Vest harness.

Puppy Set
Quality and ergonomics right from the start
As dog harness specialists, we know how important good equipment is, which is why we designed the curli Puppy Set.

Reflective Elements

Safety features is one of the essential features of curli harnesses. For this reason, they include reflective elements in crucial places, such as the neck or sides, which increase the dog‘s visibility in the dark.
Reflective fabric
The material of the Glow Harnesse is a carrier fabric made of a combination of cotton and PU.
It is coated with a fine layer of glass dust and microprisms. This layer is applied to the carrier fabric and reflects when it is hit by light.
Responsibility
As dog harness specialists from Switzerland, we pay attention to every detail when developing our products and ensure you receive high-quality equipment for your dog with Swiss quality that you can rely on.
S
Softshell
Softshell – an essential part of the outdoor industry  


Until Softshell material was developed in 1989/99, functional outdoor clothing usually consisted of multi-layer combinations consisting of water-repellent hardshell fabrics as the outer layer and warming layers, often made of fleece materials, as the middle layer.


Softshell fabrics combine hardshell and fleece in terms of construction and properties: they offer a wide range of wearing properties and combine the function of the outer and middle layer in one material. They are wind- and water-repellent, breathable and warm at the same time. In this way Softshell replaces two textiles with one practical, highly functional garment.


The curli Clasp Vest Harness made of Softshell is therefore – as it combines several requirements in one material – with maximum function and optimal freedom of movement, the ideal harness for outdoor activities and walks in rather uncomfortable weather.
Good to know:

Snap-in hook
The Snap-In Hook makes it easy and convenient to attach the leash to the harness, as the carabiner snaps into place when it is pressed against the attachment ring of the harness. At the same time, it offers a high level of safety.
Stress-free dog equipment
Good to know:
curli products, from harnesses to leashes, are designed to ensure optimum, stress-free handling.
Simple, well thought-out movements when putting on the harness or leash can be performed without distracting or stressing the dog.
Stretch Comfort Leash
The Stretch Comfort Leash is a shock-absorbing, comfortable rope dog leash for stress-free guiding and commanding
As a dog owner you probably know these situations: Suddenly your dog sees something interesting and his instincts lead him to start running. This develops enormous powers, which can injure both dog and owner. That is why curli has developed a rope leash that significantly reduces the jerk when a dog is being restrained. This is more convenient for the both of you and ensures safe command transmission. Again this an idea we as harness specialists from Switzerland with origins in mountain sport know from professional mountain gear: When you are for example climbing or guiding a group you will make sure your connection with a rope is safe but not hurting anyone.
With the stretch comfort leash it becomes very easy to create a relationship based on trust although you keep control and guide your dog.
T
Tension Distribution

curli Harnesses are developed to distribute the pulling force of the dog as gently as possible on the whole body.
Tube Nylon

The curli-exclusive Tube Nylon material of the adjustable leash is woven in tube form and ensures it is comfortable in hand with the best grip and control.
Trendcolors Special Edition
The curli Clasp Special Edition is eagerly awaited every year and is a real collectible item.
The Special Edition picks up on current trends in terms of color and design. This year it scores with a trendy apricot on the inside and delicate shades of blue, green and pink on the outside.
Twist Connection

The Twist Connection between the carabiner and nylon strap on the Car Safety Belt prevents the belt from twisting up when the dog moves in the car. This ensures that the dog is securely fastened with optimum freedom of movement.
U
Ultra Strong Pocket Leash

Fits in every pocket and still: The spliced Dyneema rope guarantees durability and withstands tensile loads of up to 620kg/1370lb. The high-strength, rustproof marine steel of the carabiner only bends with tensile loads from 190kg/430lb.
V
Vario Lock Buckle

Vario Lock Buckle
When developing the Vario Lock Buckle of the Vario Comfort Leash, we were inspired by block elements of climbing ropes.
The Vario Lock Buckle allows you to adjust the length of the leash to any leash from 2.0 – 1.2 m (6.56 – 3.93 ft), so you can use the Vario Comfort Leash as a short city leash or a longer walking leash.
