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"

    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.

    Best leash I’ve ever used - hitch hiker

    I bought this leash for when we go on hikes in the woods but find myself using it even on everyday walks in the park or around the neighborhood. It is so so easy to use and my dog loves when I run with him. I think he loves that it is so light and that I can easily move the belt around should he go over to the other side of me. I often am walking a second dog when I use this and it makes it super easy. This was a great purchase and I have recommended it to many of my dog owner friends.

    Great multi purpose hands free leash

    This leash is great. I was looking for a hands free leash that works for short walks, hikes and skiing. This leash can easily go from short to long without the danger of a retractable. The small stretchy front pocket easily holds a roll or 2 of poop bags. I need decent snow to try the leash out while xc skiing, but know it will work better than the leash I currently use since this one has more length options. And it is not super intricate like the unflattering skijoring harness that goes around your legs. I love walking hands free so I can walk more briskly - in between dog pee spots.
