The Hitch Hiker™ does three - and switches between them without stopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShorten is right down for close control on a busy street. Clip it around your waist for a hands-free walk or run. And when you need to stop - for lunch on the trail, a coffee outside, or to set up camp - wrap the rope around a post or tree and your dog is securely anchored. That last bit is the hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s a hitch?\u003c\/strong\u003e A hitch is a type of knot that ties a rope to an object - a post, a tree, a rail - and holds tight under tension, releasing easily when the tension is gone. No carabiner, no separate tie-out, no faffing. Just wrap, clip, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the stow bag is 12 feet of strong, supple, reflective kernmantle rope with a lockable Crux Clip™ at the end. The HitchLock™ rope adjuster lets you shift from long line to short lead on the fly: press the thumb button to extend the rope, release it and the HitchLock™ brakes automatically under tension. To bring the rope back in, take in the slack by hand - it’s not automatic. Human participation required, just like a climbing belay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable strap doubles as handle, waist belt, or hitch wrap, and any excess webbing tucks away in the rear pocket. A mesh pocket on the stow bag handles pick-up bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRope length: 12 ft (3.65 m) · Stow bag: 6 x 7 x 2 in (16 x 18.5 x 5 cm) · Waist belt max length: 49\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3501\/files\/Hands_pulling_the_kernmantle_rope_from_the_open_stow_bag_on_the_Ruffwear_Hitch_Hiker_Dog_Lead.jpg?v=1782143092\" alt=\"Hands pulling the kernmantle rope from the open stow bag on the Ruffwear Hitch Hiker Dog Lead in Sunny Lime worn as a waist belt\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable, stowable strap\u003c\/strong\u003e - hand-held leash handle, hands-free waist belt, or portable hitch around a single post or tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHitchLock™ rope adjuster\u003c\/strong\u003e - thumb-button to extend, auto-braking under tension, take in slack by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12 ft of reflective kernmantle rope\u003c\/strong\u003e - strong, supple, and visible in low light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLockable Crux Clip™\u003c\/strong\u003e - light, strong, and secure connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStow bag with mesh pocket\u003c\/strong\u003e - tough shell fabric, contains rope tail, mesh pocket for pick-up bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag shell (bluesign® approved): 150D polyester ripstop with DWR and PU coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRope: 7 mm reflective kernmantle rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt: 20 mm polyester webbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: anodised 6061-T6 aluminium lockable Crux Clip™ and HitchLock™ Rope Adjuster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuckle (bluesign® approved): ITW Nexus Mach 1 side-release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZipper: YKK #3 Reverse Coil Zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Vietnam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCare\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild detergent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVideo\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I751OAaNA18?si=yH-wKZT08RNypVvv\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruffwear","offers":[{"title":"Red Currant","offer_id":40869598593091,"sku":"","price":86.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sunny Lime","offer_id":40869598625859,"sku":"","price":86.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3501\/files\/Ruffwear_Hitch_Hiker_Dog_Lead_in_Sunny_Lime_showing_the_full_12-foot_kernmantle_rope.jpg?v=1782142972","url":"https:\/\/barksandbunnies.pro\/products\/hitch-hiker-dog-lead","provider":"Barks \u0026 Bunnies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
