Last year they were walking around in their sister’s jeans and now everyone’s stealing their spinster aunt’s fanny packs. Thanks to Chrome and Urban Hunter, these mini utility bags (fanny packs) or lock holsters are the latest way to keep a U-lock at the ready in case you need to dent some cars. There was a brief and ill-advised time where I kept a store sticker on my Evo mini, but it came off as soon as I imagined a cop walking into the store waving the lock around and looking for the guy who threw it into the back window of a minivan that cut him off. The Chrome Hippouch sells for about $40 and the Urban Hunter lock holster is around $30.
