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"

While the leash itself is functional, the stow bag is difficult to use. It's too small to easily get all 12 feet of rope back in without a struggle, which defeats the purpose of keeping it tidy. It would be better if the bag were larger or had a wider opening.
Fantastic leash for attaching my dog to a post while I grab a coffee.
My dog and I do a lot of hiking and the hands-free option has been a lifesaver. The rope material feels durable and the adjuster holds firm. The Red Currant color looks great against her fur.
I often walk with my hands full, so the waist belt option is ideal. The HitchLock adjuster feels secure and makes changing the length very smooth, whether I need a longer line for exploring or a shorter one for sidewalks. The Sunny Lime really stands out.
This leash has been fantastic for my golden retriever. The ability to adjust the length up to 12 feet, and then shorten it quickly with the HitchLock, is incredibly convenient for varying environments. It feels very sturdy and well-made, especially the climbing-inspired rope.
