RUFFWEAR Hitch Hiker Sunny Lime

The Hitch Hiker™ is a climbing-inspired, all-in-one connection system that offers unrivaled versatility. Whether you’re at the crag, grabbing a coffee, or exploring the backcountry, this system fluidly transitions from a hand-held leash to a hands-free waist belt or a secure portable hitch.

Precision Control on the Fly: With 12 feet of strong, reflective kernmantle rope, you can instantly shift from a long line for sniffing to a short lead for tight spaces. The ergonomic HitchLock™ rope adjuster acts as a manual braking system, allowing you to lock the length under tension or take in slack by hand—mimicking a trusted belay partner.

Key Features:

• 3-in-1 Versatility: Use it as a traditional hand-held leash, a hands-free waist belt (up to 49"), or a secure hitch around a tree or post.
  
  
• HitchLock™ Adjuster: Ergonomic design allows for easy, hands-on length adjustment even when the rope is under tension.
  
  
• Stowable Design: A durable, water-repellent stow bag keeps the extra rope tail contained and organized, making it incredibly portable.
  
  
• Climbing-Grade Materials: Features 7mm reflective kernmantle rope and a lockable, lightweight Crux Clip™ for a secure connection.
  
  
• Reflective Visibility: Integrated reflective threading in the rope ensures you and your dog are seen in low-light conditions.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 12 ft rope; Stow Bag: 6" x 7" x 2"; Max waist belt: 49".
  
• Materials: 150D polyester ripstop bag (bluesign® approved); 7mm kernmantle rope.

Pro-Tip: Think of the Hitch Hiker as your "Belay-tionship" partner. While the auto-blocking hardware helps lock the rope under tension, manual participation is required to let slack out or take it in—just like real climbing gear!
