PRODUCT REPORT ZIPPYLOK

A lot of you have got a ‘HELMETLOK’ from Rocky Creek Designs, or, you’ve probably seen
the combination lockable carabiner used by another biker to secure their helmet to a bike.
Well, the same people who designed that item, have a new gadget for doing a similar job.
Enter the ‘ZIPPYLOK’, which, for all intents and purposes, looks like a fancy Zip Tie. That
said, you could probably use it for many similar functions.
It consists of an adjustable (stainless?) steel strap, 450mm long and 10mm wide,
contained in a tough flexible rubber/plastic scratch resistant covering. This allows you to
lock your helmet or other motorbike related item securely to your bike without scratching
you steed’s paintwork. It can loop as small as 40mm x 70mm or as large as 140mm
diameter. The strap can easily thread through a helmet strap ‘D’ shackle.
There is no doubt a multitude of uses for this lightweight, durable and lockable device. I’m
informed that it is water resistant and won’t corrode, and can be left in place on your bike
rack or grab rail when not actually employed in locking a valuable. The 3 digit combination
is resettable to any 3 numbers you find easy to remember.
The good thing about it is the price, because at $39.95 you can get a few of them and the
security possibilities are endless.
I’m carrying mine around on a belt loop or in my jacket pocket, it’s brilliant!
May your lid never skid......Ian Parks #11735
