I love the new lock. It is sturdy, and the "wearable" feature is all I hoped it would be. (Hint: if you're on the fence for sizing, go larger.) It fits comfortably around my waste, and does not feel too heavy. The locking mechanism is easy to use, and the band that secures the bike seems indestructible. Of note: the slight disadvantage of a lock that is short enough to fit around the average waste, means there's not much excess length to lock the bike in any location. Worth it for the convenience of a wearable lock. I am also VERY happy with Loctote's customer service. I ordered two locks with free shipping, which were shipped out promptly. Unfortunately, the delivery service made an error and returned the locks incorrectly. When I contacted Loctote, they were quick to resolve the problem and sent new locks via priority shipment. Thank you Loctote!

This new type lock fits through the bike frame and front wheel with room to spare. It is also very easy to transport. Light and very strong. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

This bike lock is so easy to use. Locking is as simple as clicking the two ends together, and unlocking with the key takes only moments. Honestly the least hassle of any bike lock in my experience. It feels heavy in the hand, but once you put it around your waist it's surprisingly comfortable. My only complaint is that the lock stopper sometimes doesn't allow it to close enough and it will pop open.
