| Pros | Lightweight, easy-to-use, versatile and easy to carry around | Very secure, mounts to bike, convenient size for locking up | Wearable design, solid security, easy to use | Compact, extremely secure, heavy-duty | Large and strong U-lock, relatively lightweight, beefy mount |
| Cons | Less secure than U-locks, not quite long enough, heaviest folding lock tested | Heavy, bulky to transport | Not lightweight, uncomfortable with some backpacks, pricey | Heavy, limited versatility, expensive | Not the highest security possible, expensive |
