Hitch Hiker™ Leash

portable hitch & leash combo

Color

Selected: Slate Blue

The Hitch Hiker is a climbing-inspired adjustable-length leash and hitching system for ultimate connection versatility with your dog on the fly - from the crag to coffee shops and all the paths in between.

The adjustable strap shines equally whether being used as the handle for a hand-held leash, waist belt for a hands-free leash, or wrap for a hitch secured around a single tree or post. And, with 12 feet of rope to work with, you can fluidly shift from long line to short lead and all points in between with the ergonomic HitchLock™ rope adjuster. It's designed for hands-on adjustment that acts as a braking system when the rope is under tension. A durable stow bag keeps rope tails contained, marking its unrivaled portability and utility as a hitch and leash combo.

The Start of A Beautiful Belay-tionship: Much like the climbing gear that inspired the hardware and the mark of a trusted climbing belay partner, human participation is required. While the Hitch Hiker uses an auto-blocking technique to lock the rope under tension, slack must be let out and taken in by hand.

Dimensions: Rope length is 12 ft (3.65m); Stow Bag is 6 x 7 x 2 in (16 x 18.5 x 5 cm), Waist Belt Maximum Length 49"

    Great Leash for hiking

    This leash is great for hiking, or walking where there are not many people. My dog can have more freedom, and my arm are free for what I need to do. I can limit how far he roams, usually most of the leash. With the confidence that I still have 100% control.

    Its am awesome product, greatly built but not for my 78 lbs Golden that loves to pull and looks for something to run for. I can't control the doggie with it coz Im so used to use the Ruffwear leash with the handle which she has multiple of it since 6 years past her life. We thought she can have a little change but I guess you can't teach old dogs with new tricks, we will settle with out old style Ruffwear leash.

    So good I bought two

    I am absolutely crazy about this leash. I use it for my every day walks and hikes with my dog (a 54 pound lab). When camping this past weekend I used it as a tie-out on a picnic bench and the side of my camper. It's extremely strong, fashionable, and the locking mechanism works like a dream. I adjust the leash to a shorter length for sidewalk walks and let it out to its full length when on the trail.

    It's so great that my husband had to have one of his own for walking our other dog at the same time!

    Do the Trucker Hitch

    Solid, simple hands-free leash. Rope snag works well. One sided to allow for easy retrieval. A retractable mechanism would be nice as the rope tangles and needs to be collected after extended use but can't hold it against the product. Good materials and construction. Highly recommend.
