Motorcycle Helmet Lock & Security Cable - Blue Carabiner Combination Lock Secures Your Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, or Bag - Helmet Lock with Free Carry Pouch & a Small Flashlight

I bought this lock for a 4 day ride on my Suzuki Vstrom, and it was perfect. The instructions for setting my combination were simple and I had it set in less than 2 minutes. My combo worked first time/every time from then on. The lock and cable have a coating on them to protect the bike so I now just leave it on the bike even when I'm not using it. I used the lock on my trip in two ways. First, the main lock was used for my helmet. But I also ran the coiled cable through the handles of my soft luggage tailbag to avoid a "grab and run." I probably had room to lock my jacket too if I'd stretched the cable full out, but I never tried that so I'm not sure. As far as other reviewers' concerns: I rode through rain for a full day of my ride and the lock combo/mechanism worked just as smoothly as before my trip. Concerns about the ability of thieves to defeat the lock, let me say this: this is a light/medium duty lock. Don't lock your wife's diamond ring with this. A thief with a couple of large crowbars and midsize cable cutter could defeat this lock/cable. But more heavy duty locks are not realistic for quick lock/unlock situations on a motorcycle. This stops the "opportunity thief" and also adds significant time to an even more determined one. Bottom line is that this lock does exactly what it says it will do at a very fair price, with the added benefit of not having another key to carry around.

Excelent

I didn't read the instructions before throwing it in my saddle bag and heading out to work. then realized I had to set a combination and had no idea how to do it. 10 seconds later I had it figured out and done. very easy to use and set combo. Durability wise, I'd say this is more of a "please don't steal my helmet" polite request than any kind of real security...but if you need real security I'd hope you wouldn't be leaving an expensive helmet on the bike anyway as a prepared thief won't be deterred by most locks you'd actually carry with you anyway. This is a solid combination of compact, easy to carry and use, and moderate level of security. I'm pretty sure I could break it in a few seconds with a couple of channel lock pliers, but I'm equally sure I coudln't break it with my bare hands.

Works great. I use this often to secure my helmet.

I ride a 2009 GoldWing. I just used this device to lock down my helmet and bags while on a motorcycle trip from San Diego, CA to Durango, Colorado and another trip to northern California. I only use it when I'm leaving my stuff unattended at a store, gas station, or restroom stop. I don't expect that it will stop someone with bolt or cable cutters, but for that matter, someone could theoretically lift up my entire bike and take it home in their truck. It's not intended for that. It will definitely prevent that walk-by jerk who might want to grab your helmet, jacket, or bags. It comes with a storage pouch and would easily fit in your jacket pocket or anywhere you want to store it on your bike. The cable stretches out far enough to get just about anything you would ever need to secure. I'm very satisfied with the product. I trust it for my own use and I think it's a great gift for anyone you know who rides. I already bought a second one as a gift and I'm looking at my Christmas list for other people too.

Perfect for what I need. Locks my expensive modular helmet to the bike so I don’t have to carry it. I’m sure the cable can be cut with a good pair of cutters but let’s be honest, if they want it they’re going to get it. It’s easy to use and I can even see the combo numbers with a little bit of ambient lighting. Plenty of cable to lock multiple helmets, vest, or coat or even the rain cover to the bike. Takes up next to zero space. If you need to it can be clipped to your belt loop and you’d never notice.

So... I used this lock for the first time on a ride yesterday. It worked great! Until nightfall... We came out of a restaurant after dark, and I had to use my cellphone flashlight to see the combo lock. Problem is - although my vision is not poor by any means (2./25) - at night it's impossible to see the numbers on the combo lock if all you have is a cellphone flashlight. The tumblers are shiny, and the numbers are SMALL and shiny, and you can't see anything. After trying for about 15 minutes and asking someone else with hopefully better vision to give it a try, the only solution was to use my cellphone camera to take a non-flash pic, zoom in to see the numbers, and then rotate them by feel to the proper position to unlock. My suggestion to seller... make the combo lock numbers high contrast to the background and all of the lock mechanism non reflective. It is near impossible to see in the dark with a bright light. I'll keep using the lock as it works GREAT - but only in the daytime.

Easy and compact snowboard lock. I keep it in my pocket and lock up my board to the rack when I go inside for overpriced food and beer. Not super strong or anything, but will definitely deter crimes of convenience/opportunity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ممتاز

Numbers are so shiny, it is difficult to read the in low light or if you wear reading glasses. You have to move around the lock to a position where you see them properly.

Great lock,sturdy lightweight and easy to use

As seen on the picture and on my instagram profile (@greek.rider) this is a great little lock for your helmet. It does three things nicely; (a) secures the helmet in position so it doesn't accidentally fall off the bike, (b) super light and easy to carry with you all the time; (c) secures your helmet with enough protection to stop someone from trying to mess with your helmet. For a day out with the bike where you just stop for a coffee or a snack or even a swim and you don't want to carry your helmet with you, it is ideal. Will I leave my bike and helmet unattended in a 'dodgy area' for many many hours...no!

Works really well and the torch is a real bonus!
