Climbing-inspired and trail-tested, the Ruffwear Hitch Hiker™ is the ultimate leash and hitching system for dogs and handlers who are always on the move — from the crag to the coffee shop and everywhere in between.

With 12 feet of reflective kernmantle rope and the ergonomic HitchLock™ adjuster, you can fluidly shift from long line to short lead on the fly. The adjustable strap works as a hand-held handle, a hands-free waist belt, or a hitch wrapped around a post — all without unclipping from your dog.

• 🧵 12 ft reflective kernmantle rope — strong, supple, and visible in low light
• 🔐 HitchLock™ rope adjuster — ergonomic brake system for hands-on, on-the-fly length adjustment
• 🔗 Lockable Crux Clip™ — light, strong, and secure connection to your dog’s harness or collar
• 🌳 Leash & hitch versatility — hand-held, hands-free waist belt, or hitched to a single post
• 🎒 Stow bag included — keeps rope tail contained for clean, portable carry

Dimensions: Rope: 12 ft (3.65 m)  |  Stow Bag: 6 × 7 × 2 in (16 × 18.5 × 5 cm)  |  Waist Belt Max: 49"

Note: Like a climbing belay system, the HitchLock™ requires active hand participation — slack must be let out and taken in by hand while the rope is under tension.
