I just weighed my U-lock that I’ve had for years, and it’s only 1.75 lbs and fits in the back pocket of many pants, and it cost 1/3 as much as this HipLok (I primarily use a stripped-down OnGuard Pitbull Mini, FYI). With that in mind, I don’t think this HipLok will hold up for anything more than a blase fashion piece. 8mm hardened steel can be cut through in seconds. The reviewer made all the right points about the disadvantages of a U-lock, but when it comes down to it, you can get better protection that still weighs less, and there are myriad stylish ways to carry a U-lock that offer more function than this thing.
