A lock that fits in your pocket and is enough to deter an opportunistic thief

Hiplock Z lock.

Getting bike security right isn’t as straightforward as you might think. Too much lock and it's weight and size can make it cumbersome and result in it being left at home; too little and you spend your coffee stop looking over your shoulder the whole time. So when looking for the best bike lock there's a lot to consider.

Hiplock set out to fix this issue with a waist mounted chain lock which gave the brand it’s name. They now have a full range, including some very secure D-locks, which will hamper all but the most persistent and well equipped thieves.

The Z-lok isn't trying to replace a proper lock, it’s instead providing a deterrant for those moments where you otherwise might not lock your bike at all.
