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 hands free walking and hiking

    We’ve used this so much since getting it and it’s such a great purchase. Perfect for hands free walking in addition to hiking. And it’s super easy to reel out and back in. Also great if you want to let your dog off leash and not have to hold onto the leash!

    Great for camping

    I purchased this leash to use while camping. I have a smaller dog, so like that it’s light, and that it can wrap around trees to anchor it.

    *guitar riff* "I Guess You're Just What I Needed!"

    After trying all manner of Indiana Jones style leash holsters...I've found that the Hitch Hiker is perfect for the situations where you need to walk your pup on-leash for a while from a road/parking area and then will be letting her run free. I realized I was always distracted for the first 10 minutes of my hike fussing with how to wrap the leash up so that it was out of my way, but handy in case of an unfriendly pup or porcupine. This solves that!

    It is very lightweight, and I think of it as a hiking utility belt that I attach her treat bag and other small accessories to.

    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!
