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 for decompression walks for you and your pup!

    This hands-free leash is great for walking with a dog that loves snuffling along and doing their own thing. It keeps it hands free for me to work with my other dog doing training on a shorter leash, decompression walks, and of course being hands free!

    It's Long.

    The leash is nice and long, and I like that it's round, and the thing that locks it in place works well. I kinda wish there were a way to wrangle the part I'm not currently using other than cramming it into the little pouch, which I kinda wish I could be using for treats or whatever instead, but on the other hand, at least it comes in fun colors. No unpleasant surprises; it's pretty nice, overall.

    Favorite Leash

    This leash is easily the most versatile. The ability to go from short to long in an instant is so helpful with training and general walking. The build quality is excellent, and I think it'll last a long time.

    So much safer than other leashes.

    I am so happy to have found this amazing leash. With the belt around my waist, my hands are free to guide my dog on our morning walks at the lake and I don't worry about accidentally dropping the leash. I love how it securely attaches to her harness, so that I don't have to worry about her getting loose. When we are in more crowded places, it is so easy to shorten her leash. Her poop bags fit nicely in the elasticized pocket of the pouch. Overall, it is just such a well designed product. I'll never use another leash.

    Love it for hiking/camping!

    This is a game changer for camping and hiking! It makes the camping trip a breeze because I can hook the pup to me or a tree to keep them safe at the campsite!
