The Urban Eyes safety vest is a new product designed to help women feel safer during outdoor workouts. The vest includes dual cameras, reflective panels, and a wireless remote to deter harassers and provide a sense of security. It comes in several color combinations and is available for preorder at about $204, with delivery expected within 35 days. The vest offers a visible deterrent to potential attackers and is intended to give users confidence during their runs, walks, or jogs.
According to a recent survey, 92% of women in the U.S. reported feeling concerned for their safety while running, with many fearing physical attacks and experiencing harassment. This includes incidents of sexist comments, honking, or being followed. The Urban Eyes vest is designed to address this issue by capturing real-time footage of surroundings, empowering users to stay focused and feel protected. The vest features bright white, eye-shaped cameras and flashing blue LEDs to ensure visibility and deter would-be harassers.
The vest is tailored for a range of chest sizes (28″-52″) and includes adjustable waistband and breathable fabric for comfort during physical activity. It also has a large zippered pocket for a phone and smaller pockets for keys or cards. The wireless remote allows users to control both cameras with one button, and all footage is stored locally on the device. The product is intended to provide a simple solution without the need for app downloads or Wi-Fi connections.
Urban Eyes emphasizes that the vest not only offers personal safety but also contributes to the protection of personal data and property. The company highlights that the vests can help in preventing unwanted surveillance and ensuring that users have an eyewitness to any incidents that may occur. The product’s availability for preorder at $204 aims to meet the demand for personal safety tech, which continues to grow as more individuals seek ways to feel secure during outdoor activities.
