HelmetLok - a locking carabiner with many uses

Never a fan of things hanging on my bike, often in an unsecure manner, I’ve taken a ‘wait and see’ position relative to including a typical carabiner as part of my gear. Until now that is. Our friend, David Peterson at Best Rest Products introduced us to one of their new products called HelmetLok. 

The HelmetLok carabiner allows motorcyclists to secure a helmet to practically any spot on a motorcycle, as long as the diameter of the attachment point is less than 1-1/8"; e.g., handlebars, frame tubes, turn signals, mirrors, etc. Unlike a typical carabiner where the latch the opens inward, restricting the size of the opening and its usefulness, the HelmetLoklatch opens OUTWARD.  This allows it to fit around handlebars, frame tubes, or other parts of your motorcycle measuring up to 1-1/8" diameter. 

The 3-pin lock can be programmed to your own unique combination.   

• Locks your helmet to the motorcycle
• Serves as a belt hook for keys or other gear
• Serves as a general purpose camping carabiner in combination with tent ropes  
• Secures loads to your bike when used with tie downs
• Secures jackets and other riding gear when used with a cable
• Useful as a key fob
• Other uses, limited only by your imagination

The latching lever contains a programmable 3-pin combination lock.  Set your own personal security code (there are1,000 codes available, and you can quickly re-set the combination if needed).  

To secure your helmet, slip the HelmetLok around your bars, hook your helmet d-rings thru the caribiner, close the latch, and spin the combo dial.  Your helmet is safe and secure.  

To unlock, spin the three tumblers until the code is aligned, then squeeze the release levers on the sides of the lock, and the latch opens outward. You can do it wearing gloves.

HelmetLokeliminates the need to mount a permanent helmet lock or keep track of another key. If there's a place to hook the carabiner, there's always a place to lock your helmet. 

• Price for 1 HelmetLok is $25
  
• Price for 2 HelmetLoks is $45  ($22.50 each)
  
• Price for 3 HelmetLoks is $60  ($20.00 each)

However if the expectation is to deter someone from walking off with a prized helmet or other important possession, then the HelmetLok works just great.
