Hiplok GOLD: Sold Secure Rated Wearable Chain Bicycle Lock

Seriously strong. Stopped my enike from being stolen. Comfy to wear while riding. White option very reflective

I've only ridden a bike three times whilst wearing the Hiplock so these observations are therefore sincere but limited. Obviously I have to trust the security rating but that said the Hiplock certainly appears to be a well made, high quality lock and chain. It's a brilliant idea. I like the covering of the chain, which is durable and washable when the time comes, and the easy waist fastening/releasing using the plastic clip. The large key is not double sided so one needs to look at the lock when inserting it, but practice will make that more instinctive. A little practice is also needed to quickly unbuckle, put the chain around the bike and then padlock it - and to reverse the process so that the padlock is not on the same side as the retaining clip, which prevents you securing the chain around your waist! But again that's only practice. Surprisingly, the weight is not really noticeable on rides of about five miles, particularly when wearing a few layers of clothes. I think this is an excellent product and I shall use it all the time for my commuting bike, which I leave with three locks securing it, and when touring, when it can sit in a pannier if need be. However, I find it too heavy for a day ride wearing thinner clothing and certainly 'overkill' when making a coffee stop with other riders, particularly if the bike is within view.

I've used this lock on a particularly popular bike I own and it has done an excellent job at stopping would-be thieves dead in their tracks. It uses a deep slot rail key which makes it much more difficult to be opened with a lockpick. Right out of the box it comes with three keys with a free online registration allowing you to purchase more if your current keys ever go missing. Wearing it around my waist is comfortable although it does sag whilst walking. However, when on the bike it remains planted and secure and doesn't affect the cornering ability whatsoever. The chains are thick and durable and wide enough to securely fit between my rear wheel and frame, and with a gold rating, this lock brings the guarantee of having the best protection level available. HIGHLY recommended.

Like many I bought a bike during lockdown so needed a lock to keep it safe. Decided this looked like just the job as it's a gold standard lock. It's really heavy duty steel chain, and when I say heavy duty the emphasis should be on the word heavy. The design is great in that it has the clips so you can wear it around your waist, the problem is the weight makes it uncomfortable to wear like this. The lock itself is quite fiddly to close and lock with the key at the same time, mostly due to the weight. It's long enough to work well and it should deter all but the most prepared of thieves with some power tools.

This is an excellent heavy duty bike chain and meets the criteria of my insurance and feels really secure. Whilst it is heavy the simple idea of having around your waist makes it easy to carry. Note that the chain is shorter than the complete webbing that goes round your waist. In use, it just manages to go around a lamppost and the bike. So make sure you check your measurements. I would recommend if you are on the robust size like me but if you are petite like my wife you may wish to think about a sturdy Sold Secure recommended D Lock (I have both). Finally there is a bit of a knack to locking and unlocking.

Really practical high value lock that offers great security for your bike. It gives you peace of mind to walk away knowing that if somebody wanted to steal your bike, they’d have to spend a long time trying and go through some serious faff to do so. It works well, and is very easy to fit. It is a little heavy, so keep that in mind if you’re not wanting to carry the extra weight. But for us, it’s definitely worth it. Would recommend.

Great secure lock. It isn't light in weight but once on its very comfortable and I had to check it was still around my waist, which it was but really comfy and soon forgot about the weight even when riding my road bike on a 70 miler. Easy to use but top quality. It may not be cheap but nor is your bike.

wygodne i praktyczne zabezpieczenie do codziennego użytku – szczególnie tam, gdzie U-lock nie daje rady ze względu na ograniczoną przestrzeń lub nietypową geometrię ramy w specyfikacji podano nieprawidłową grubość ogniw. W rzeczywistości ogniwa mają 10 mm

This thing is a BEAST. Thick, solid chain, protected nicely with the sheath. GREAT solution to wear it as a belt instead of figuring where to mount it or carrying it in a backpack (and note that you don't lock it around your waist—there's a plastic buckle-like system to put it on and off). The security level is high, but be sure to watch the videos on best ways to use it. One of the most important tips is to mount it at a high level—do NOT secure it where it's close to or touching the ground. A thief can leverage bolt cutters against the ground to cut through them, but when it's mounted high, they can't get enough leverage and force to cut the chain.

Ho acquistato la catena più sicura in base alle recensioni perché mi avevano rubato la bici elettrica precedente. Ora spero faccia bene il suo lavoro!!! Tenete conto che è un po’ corta…

Positief: - Moeilijk te kraken. - Makkelijk om middel te dragen tijdens fietsen. Negatief: - Kan voor sommige fietsers toch zwaarder zijn om om middel te dragen dan gesuggereerd wordt in de marketing. Dit slot is vele malen zwaarder dan een gewone broekriem en kan hiermee dus niet vergeleken worden. - Dit slot is veel te zwaar voor sportfietsers om om middel te dragen.

Transport aisé, solide, livré avec 3 clés qualitatives, moyen d'accroche à la taille présentant l'avantage de ne pas abîmer les cadres contrairement aux autres chaînes. Assez long pour accrocher 2 vélos. Plus lourd que la version bronze mais autrement plus solide. Chaîne fréquemment bien notée face aux attaques. (Comptez 2 à 4 mn face à une disqueuse portative ce qui en soi est très bien) Un must have à coupler avec la version 6 mm plus légère (pour les arrêts courts)
