fucking hipsterdeathklok

I have just bought one of these for the convenience of not having to carry a bag for my d lock and cable (also the d lock is so heavy it has crushed my lunch in my bag more than once). So far I am really happy with it, it feels solid though I would not leave it in a high risk area without the d lock as well but for quick stops and in lower risk areas it is quick and convenient and feels solidly built.

With regards to wearing it, it sits down on my hips where I have some natural padding so if I fell on it I would likely get some nasty bruising but fingers crossed no permanent damage. It is well padded and you quickly forget it is on (I sat down to dinner last night still wearing it).

Obviously it if gets rained on or touches dirty or greasy parts of your bike then it's not so nice to wear home but then if it is wet out I usually have a waterproof jacket and put it on over that to protect my clothes.

That's my 2 pence anyway but I am a noob so may not be noticing some obvious flaw.

The founder of Hiplok is giving a talk at my university next week. Anyone got any questions you want me to ask him?

Take some bolt cutters and ask if you can have a go?

Is it patented?

Whats his turnover?

Have any couriers asked for royalties?

Broke a prong off the z lok key the other day. Not sure to get a replacement key or try the combo version.
