Hiplok Gold Wearable Chain Lock

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.

Good, heavy, durable lock. Doubles as a gold chain.

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.

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.

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.

Wear? It weighs so much… I’d never be able to wear it…

Yep great lock all around. Just wish it would release key when unlocked but it's a easy enough fix for a locksmith. Other than that great lock, solid build, excellent chain.

i saw this lock through GMBN's channel and I finally got my hands on it, I find its build and form much more stain resistant than Kryptonite's lock. Kryptonite claimed that their locks were stain free but I had to apply some WD40 which turned out to be false. I currently use a combination of Kryptonite D Lock and this hip lock to lock my bikes because I have an e-MTB and it's geometry makes it harder to have urban bike locks due to its horiztonal geometry that makes it harder to loop the lock, but this hip lock is long enough.

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

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)

El producto es robusto y todos sus componentes parecen ser de gran calidad, veremos cómo va todo en la calle!

Great idea , very well constructed , surprising for the weight it’s comfortable enough on bike rides , being as there seems to be no competition with similar item , price is quite high for what it is .
