Badger 360° Designed with safety in mind:

Do you really know if motorists can actually see you at night while you are biking, walking or jogging? A lot of sport apparels have reflective tape but is it really good enough? Reflective tape works by reflecting light back to the original light source only. Therefore, a car’s headlight can only see you if you are in line with the headlight. Why wait for motorist to see you? With Badger 360°, you will be visible from all directions!

Prototype Stage:

During the prototype stage of development, we had to figure out the best way to route the LED strings.  We made our first prototype and went to more than 40 bikes shops and running stores around Los Angeles to ask for their comments and suggestions.  We were glad that we did that because we realized the jacket was lacking lots of key features.

Final Product:

After 9 months of Research and Development.  We are happy with our final design!

Technology behind Badger 360°

White Color LED’s were chosen to provide the best possible illumination. The white LED strands are sewn to the seams of the jacket which makes it visible to motorist but the LED will not cause any disruption to your eyes while wearing it. LED lights are placed starting from the back of the jacket, continuing along the neck area, and ending on both sides of the shoulders. Motorists will see where you are from all directions. It is even visible from more than a ¼ mile away.

Weight is a big factor and often hinders athletic performance, therefore we designed the battery pack to be small weight less than 1 oz. (equivalent of 7 pennies) but it is powerful enough to withstand more than 8 hours of use.

The battery also preserves the life of the battery by allowing the battery to turn on only when it is plugged in.

Even though the battery pack is small, it also has integrated one button design. You will be able to turn the LED lights On/Off and choose up to 7 flash sequences.

7 Different Flash Sequences:

Charging the battery is so quick and easy. Just use the connection cable provided and plug it into any USB port.

Where will your funding go?

Minimum Order Quantity  (MOQ):  In order to keep have our jackets made at an affordable price, we will need to place a larger order.  This is where Indiegogo comes in and help fund the first production run. 

Patent:  We have filed for Patent Pending already so that our ideas are not compromised. 

Local Events and Conventions:  We believe that Social Media will help Badger 360° get this products into new heights but we are more of a people person.  We want to talk to customers just like you (face to face), show you the actual product so you can see it and try it.  Therefore, we want to use some of the funding to participate in local events.

Research and Development:  We are trying to develop more products with our LED Technology.  Therefore, we want to use some of the funding to make new prototypes and bring you more cool products.

Give back to the Crowd Funding Community:  This is our first time using Indiegogo to help make our ideas come into reality and we believe that there other great ideas for safety products as well.  If we do see some great projects in the future, we will also like to support them like what you are doing for us.
