Hitch Hiker™ Leash

portable hitch & leash combo

Color

Selected: Sunny Lime

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"

    Versatile!

    Can be a long or short line with a hand hold or waist clip. Small pouch for treats or bags. Quality components. And it's so neat and tidy!

    Love this

    Have been using this leash for a week now. Love how easy it is to switch the length and hook up my dog. Love the spot to hold doggy bags. Nice touch.

    Leash that solved my problem!

    Retractables are nice for certain things, like fetch, etc. but they're hard to hold on to if yanked. If your on a trail and need to be able to pull your dog back or give a correction at a moment's notice - they aren't the friendliest on your hands either.

    I've struggled to find a leash that was slightly longer (without being a true long-line), that had a place to stow the excess line, have a means of securing it to yourself, while also having a means of adjusting the length securely (not having to just hold the line yourself or tying knots throughout it). This leash solved all those problems!

    It will definitely be a staple in my hiking gear from now on.

    The rope and hardware are all solid, the belay system is lovely!

    Currently I've only tested it at home - haven't been able to test it on trail yet - but I have no doubt that it'll perform once I do.

    Love the hitch hiker leash

    I have two doodles and they love walking to the park everyday. It's nice that I can change the leash length depending on where we are going. If there's lots of people around, if I'm on the sidewalk or if I'm in a large open area in the park. You can let the leash get long very fast. It takes a little longer to shorten the leash but it's really easy. I have the ruffwear coupler attached to the hitch hiker leash so I can see the two dogs at the same time and keep them going in the same direction.
