Trelock

The Trelock LS 950 may look like rather old fashioned but it's one of the best lights I've used. That clumpy body doesn't just contain state of the art optics and a monster battery, it's also extremely user-friendly.

Linked-plate locks are becoming increasing popular as they pack down small and can offer decent protection. The FS455 from Trelock is far from being awful but doesn't offer the same protection as a similarly-priced U-lock.

The FS455 comes with a plastic cage to mount to your bike frame, and does pack down small: 19x7x4cm is the folded size. It's not particularly light at 1138g, so we had high hopes that the six hardened steel linkage plates would stand up to some serious abuse.
