D-Lock Neoprene Covers

So this is a post to gauge if there would be any interest in these...... I recently got my friend make me one for my kryptonite evolution lock (pictured below) as I haven't been able to find anything else suitable off the shelf (I have previously just used tape or rubber and found them to go a bit rank after a while)

They would be £5 each to make it worth her while, cut/sewn to the length of the lock desired and be sold in black to start with

Probably just local collection round london to begin too, maybe postal if there's enough demand

What do people think?

I was sick of getting my expensive paint job chipped and surprised that all I could find similar to this was a £20 leather cover...

I would be interested. Do they hold much water if left out in the rain?

haven't had chance to test that out yet, it's neoprene which is the same/similar to wet suits so will most likely retain some water, reckon it could mostly be squeezed out though - I'll have to try it and let you know

I kind of wonder if the straight bar part does as much damage as the U.
Am I wrong about that? Or does it need something for there as well.

Personally I like thieves being able to see that it's a kryptonite lock so wouldn't want to cover that section too
if its locked with the straight side resting on what you're locking to and the covered on the frame it shouldn't be much of an issue

👍🏻

Looks good

Yup, be interested

Interested too. The inner tube wrapped around mine is taking up too much of the space i need for locking!

Mine doesn't take up much space at all. Just a bit 'grippy' if you need to slide it in your belt.

Excellent. Is that the regular circumference of your inner tube or did you glue it tighter?

Regular 19-23c inner tube eased around with some soapy water.

I'd be interested.
