Hitch Hiker Leash
$64.95
Description

  The Ruffwear 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.

Nite Ize Squeeze Rotating Smartphone Bike Bar Mount Review: Squeeze System Holds On Tight
  For so many years, Id just try to remember the next three or four turns on biking trips through the city and hope I didnt miss a side street before I could pull over somewhere, fish my phone out of my pocket, and read the next three or four turns off the navigation app on my phone. Id start and...

Less Money, Fewer Grams, Comfortable for 2 Adults: MEC Spark UL Tent Review
  We rolled into camp dusty, sweaty, and depleted as the sun sank. The end of a brutal day of bikepacking in the scorching heat of summer. I dragged MEC’s new Spark UL 2 tent out of my handlebar bag and shook it open. Within seconds, I had it staked out and pitched to perfection.   It’s rare that I can pitch...

Superior Shape for an Outdoor Folder: Vosteed Shilin Review
  Unlike knife blade steel, there’s rarely a new knife blade shape. But there are little-known shapes that never really caught on.   One of those is the Shilin blade shape. For the life of me, the only reason I can see it not being more popular is that it originated from a small village in Taiwan more than 150 years ago....

Running Shorts With Storage Superpowers: Oiselle Pockito Review
  As a recovering ultra runner, Ive run enough miles in my life to know that the best womens running shorts disappear mid-run. You dont feel them, tug at them, or even notice them. But even now, I still want gear that performs across trail runs, hikes, and the occasional paved adventure. Thats why Ive been pleasantly surprised with the Oiselle...
