Hiplok Gold Wearable Chain Lock

Felt like an eternity I waited for this to come in the mail. So worth it!! Actually fit me straight out the packaging. No adjustment needed. But easy to loosen and secure the extra with a band. This lock feels secure!! Wearing it around the waist is easy and weight feels evenly distributed. Took it out next day I got it and didn’t affect my ride at all. The short length I think is perfect for me. I’m only locking one bike and like there’s not much give for thieves to attempt to use their tools. Practice locking/unlocking the bolt. You can take the key out without it being fully locked. So make sure you tug on the handle loop a few times before leaving and to keep the key in while locking then turn to ensure it’s fully locked. Saw some complaints about the weight and it’s really not a big deal. Love that it comes with three key copies.Pro tip: go to the manufacturer website and register your keys right away. Must do it while you have them as that’s the only way to duplicate keys. They need to have a log of the digit code on the keys.

Good, heavy, durable lock. Doubles as a goldchain.

I've only had the lock for about 3-4 weeks and use it once or twice a week, so I'm not a daily user of it, but I have been happy with it so far.The lock definitely feels more heavy duty and secure than your average U-Lock and from the research I did, it absolutely is. I figured the flexibility and length would allow the ability to possibly use this lock on non-bike specific parking spots and might give me some extra options for spots to lock up as I don't typically ride to places frequented by cyclists and there therefore aren't always dedicated bike racks and stands readily available. What I found in practice is that although the chain seems like a good length, when going around the frame and through a wheel, you really don't have a lot left to use in order to lock up, and while it is absolutely ample for use on your average street sign pole, bike racks, etc... it doesn't really allow the length necessary to put it around something like a thick street lamp, which you obviously couldn't do with a U-lock either. In short, I generally end up looking for bike specific parking anyway as opposed to something like a heavy duty solid metal fence which you might not be able to put the bike in a position to utilize the extra length this affords over a U-lock.Aside from that, I found that the lock is reasonably comfortable to wear around the waist when riding, and while it does add some weight, it is fine for 5-6 miles or so, which is probably the longest I've ridden with the lock worn. I've also found that I can wrap the lock once around the top tube, and once around the fork and then lock it to itself so that it is completely snug to the bike frame, tubing protected by the covering, and it does not hang or get in the way of my legs, the wheel, etc... so with a bit of creativity you can have an option to wear it on your body, bike or just throw it in a backpack.I've found that when wearing it, I needed to shorten it to the absolute shortest possible length in order to wear around the waist snugly, and I am roughly a 31-32" waist. I was under the impression that it could be worn for smaller waists, but I'm not sure how that could be the case unless you weren't attaching the lock to the last link, which would require opening up the sleeve and pulling out chain. Regardless, I've found that once the length is set, it stays put and is secure and doesn't come loose during the ride at all. I saw previous reviewers mention the need to occasionally retighten but luckily I've not experienced that at all and the length hasn't budged a bit since setting it.The lock itself is also high quality feeling, and the keys are thick and sturdy as well. There's no fear that you're going to bend a key or break one, and it does come with 3 keys in total, in case you lose one or two.Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it and if you're comfortable with the high price point, I'd recommend it for its functionality and quality.

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.

great lock! wears easily and has good reach. barely notice the weight.

My ebike isn't cheap. Now I don't worry about it getting stolen. It is heavy but I put in in my pannier bag and it's not an issue at all. Super beefy and just long enough. In a pinch if in need more length I have a foldable lock also which I use in combination with it.

Top chain Hip lock Gold wearable when around waist its not locked for safety,you don't feel the weight ! Top quality easy to lock around poles and bike racks ,trees !

I can't even tell it's on. No joke. It is in no way cumbersome while riding. Yes, it's quite heavy, however, I always forget that I'm wearing it. At times, threading it between the spokes of the tire takes an extra second or two, but it's a minor inconvenience for the Gold-rated security it provides. The quick clip that keeps it around your waist is very strong. I have to click it together with some force for it to snap into place. I bike to work even day and lock up onto a wide-tube bike rack so I needed more space that a U-lock provides. This does the trick, allowing me to lock my frame and rear wheel around the tube of the bike rack. The padlock is quite substantial. The chain links are very solid. The ripstop cover is quite heavy duty and robust. Overall, I'm extremely pleased and have recommended it to a friend who also bike commutes.
