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

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

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.

UPDATE: I contacted the company, and they offered to sent me a replacement. I even made a deal with them that they would refund me double my money if I could defeat the replacement lock as easily as the old one. I liked the confidence, so I decided to go for it instead of just asking for a straight up refund. I’m glad I did! It’s MUCH TOUGHER NOW! I don’t know when they changed the design, or if I just had a defective one. But I can’t open the new one by hand. I found another one in my closet that I forgot I purchased that also appears to be robust. So, again, either they changed the design – could have been quite a while ago now – or I just got a bad one. Either way. I rescind my original rating and give it 4 stars for what it is. It ain’t Fort Knox, but the current locks they are shipping cannot be defeated by hand. They’re lightweight and useful for locking your stuff up in relatively safe areas. I would only rely on it to keep opportunistic thieves at bay, but I’m impressed with the current build quality. I’m going to leave my original review, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to people now. And the company responded very quickly to my email. I’m attaching an updated video. I wish Amazon would allow me to include both videos, but the first one just showed me opening the old and/or defective lock with my bare hands. I have two newer locks that seem to be much more robust. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought one of these helmet locks about a year ago. I just came back to my bike a little bit ago and the code I’ve been using for a year had stopped working. I tried my regular combination, 000, and all the digits on either side of the three digits I’d chosen for my code. Nothing worked. Eventually, I just opened the thing with my bare hands. This was great because it allowed me to retrieve my helmet and ride home. But it was also really horrible because it means the helmet lock is COMPLETELY INSECURE. I’ve attached a video showing how easy it is to defeat the lock. This product should be immediately taken off the market and all the ones already in use should be recalled.

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.

Excelent

This lock is well made and sturdy. The cable is similar to a bike lock cable in terms of thickness. I like that it came with a small carrying pouch so I can put it in my tail bag. It was easy to get configured with the lock code and does the job as needed. Definitely recommend if looking for a lightweight, yet durable lock.

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.

I purchased my helmet lock almost 2 years ago. Last week I went to unlock it to secure my helmet and it would not unlock. I had just used it the previous night with no issue, so this was odd. I emailed the company to find out if there was some remedy. Freddie responded within a couple hours, explaining I should try some WD-40 to loosen things up, and asked to let him know if that did not work so he could replace it..!! I tried and it still would not work so I let him know, and pointed out how long ago my purchase was. His next email to me, later the same day, was that my replacement was being shipped and should be arriving within 2 days. Today, I received the lock. Can't say enough good things about a compony that would go above and beyond like this. Thank you so much Big Pantha and Freddie.

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!
