Pros and cons
Hiplok Gold

- 10 mm links, Sold Secure Gold — serious bolt-cutter resistance
- Textile sleeve adjusts to waist sizes from 75 to 107 cm
- Reflective stripe on the sleeve for added dark-hours visibility
Cons
- No ART certification — some Dutch insurers only accept ART-rated locks
- The wearable system does not feel comfortable for everyone — awkward over a winter coat
Trelock FS 480 COPS

- Made in Germany with a high level of finish
- Extra slim frame mount that tucks neatly against the tube
