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

    This leash was pretty much exactly what we expected. It's typical ruffewear good quality, and the ability to change the length easily if we have another dog or something else approaching on the trail is very helpful, plus the leash is very long at it's full length which is useful. I wish it retracted the rope back in the bag, but that would make it heavier and it being light is more important.

    Great for active dogs!

    Recently purchased this leash to give our Australian Shepherd mix more freedom on long walks. Instantly made our lives easier and her walks more fun. Plenty of length to let her go off path/trail as needed, but easy to bring her back in when the area is busier. Haven’t noticed any issues with the thinner rope fraying and much more durable than other leashes we’ve tried. Latch is secure and have no concerns if she pulls when she’s excited.

    Perfect adjustable leash.

    So quick and easy to let the pup explore, or bring them in for more control. Very well designed and manufactured. I expected to pay a lot more for something like this. And in a pinch it’s a great hitch.

    Great leash system

    Im very glad to have gotten this leash! It’s convenient because of the adjustability of length of the lead itself and the ease of hitching the leash to something. The mesh bag is convenient for bags or other small items. The leash rope is reflective, which is a great feature. The rope for the leash can be a little tough on hands because of the thin diameter. It can also take some time/effort to get the rope fully in the bag. Even so, I’ve had nothing but great experiences with this leash and highly recommend it if you’re on the fence.
