Not as advertised, fits in protective gear

Comes in packaging marked Gun Lock. It's definitely not 14 inches, maybe 7 max. It's a lock, yes it protects your helmet? If you have a place that takes up the lack of length. I was able to mount my helmet on the handlebars and thread it through one of the bars, but it was quite difficult for me to reach it to lock and unlock. Just spend a little more money and buy a real helmet lock.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Good for the price: could have been a little longer.

My new Triumph doesn't have a built in helmet lock so I keep one in my jacket pocket. I lay the helmet back on the center of the handlebar and wrap the cable around the chin of the helmet and handlebar. It works well, but the cable is barely long enough and it's a little fiddly to block. If the cable was just 1 inch longer, it would be a lot easier to use.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Negligible repairability

Random Thief Security

Lightweight, small and definitely won't let a random thief get away with your cover while you park at the curb for lunch. The lock opens smoothly every time and when it is locked there is an audible and tactile response. Great value for the spirit. The keys are a little flimsy and I foresee one of them breaking if too much resistance is felt in the lock cylinder after a few years. Overall I like it and I recommend it!

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Can't remember

Serves its purpose - Helmets

This lock is good enough for its purpose. If someone wanted to steal the helm—God knows why—it would serve as a deterrent. And the price is great. Cons: 1) the cord can literally be 1-2 inches longer, 2) the key/keyhole doesn't fit the best (too much fiddling to get it in), and 3) you need a key for the cord to fit in the lock . I have two of these and they work the same way down to the awkward lock. But more than enough.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Very expensive

Helmet lock failure

This item did not work on first use. I strapped my helmet onto my bike and the key return didn't go into the lock. Luckily there was an auto parts store across the street. I bought a small can of WD-40 and oiled the lock. It worked about twenty minutes later and hasn't let me down since. So if you buy one, lubricate it with oil before use and make sure the key works smoothly. Otherwise it works fine. When it comes to security, there is no lock that will actually secure your helmet. All you need

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Mystery

Works very well for motorcycles and strength sports

I drive a BMW F800ST and most BMWs have a rear platform for an extra holdall. So I placed my helmet where the bag would fit as the bike already has two side storage boxes and attached it to the helmet instead of the chin strap and it fits perfectly. I have a larger Aria helmet, so all the buyer has to do is find a spot on the bike to thread the metal chain through and then block it. If someone wants to steal the helmet, they'll need bolt cutters to cut the cable. I could never imagine anyone…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

It works out. with some effort

After some use, both key input and cable disconnection improved significantly. A good product. What follows is an initial review, but as I said, it sold well. ---- I am surprised by the good reviews for this product. It has several disadvantages.

What I don't like is that 1) the keys that came with the kit have to be…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
