Plastic-like material
Very hard material, thin and hard which actually hurts/cuts the hand when puppy pulls a bit. even washed it serval times trying to soften it a bit. Using now daily for older dogs but still not very great to handle. Good price but the saying you get what you paid for here is the exact what have happened. Properly made but out of very bad fabric. Would not recommend to anybody unless your dog is trained to walk at your side like without the lead.
