Overview
A backpack, a lantern, a bike, a growler, a designer purse, a toolbox, a sack of potatoes. Keep them tethered, upright, and secure exactly where you want it. Whatever you are doing, wherever you are, Heroclip holds your stuff so you don't have to. Folds compact into a carabiner so you can take it everywhere. Get hands-free and hands-on with life!

Like you, we’re always in motion, shifting activities and destinations on the fly. The constant in all of this—our need to take our gear with us. Life just comes with a lot of STUFF. So, we set off to create an "extra hand" in the simplest way possible -- to keep our stuff tethered, upright, off the ground and easily accessible, exactly where we want it. Heroclip is the result. After a hugely successful launch and delivery of the Original Heroclip on Indiegogo, we are now launching additional models and patterns, just as our backers requested.

 

 

Our first-of-a-kind, hybrid clip lets you hang just about anything, just about anywhere. Heroclip is a carabiner-style clip on one end, and a hook with a rubber tip for grip on the other. And in-between—a rotating swivel that makes Heroclip infinitely clipable , hookable and usable for hanging your gear. 

 

 

 

 

Whether it’s hooking a lantern to a tree branch, a backpack to a fence, a shopping bag to a stroller, a paint bucket to a ladder or keeping your designer purse off the floor while dining, Heroclip comes to your rescue!  And with this campaign, the Heroclip line will come in multiple sizes and patterns -- just like you asked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now in three sizes! (The Original is the Medium).

 

 

 

Additional smaller sizes were the most common request from our backers, and the second most common request was for patterns and designs (did we mention we have very vocal customers?). Check out the addition of a new color and patterns based on our fans’ feedback.

Please note: To purchase a patterned Heroclip, please select "Pattern" as your color option from the drop-down menu. You will have the opportunity to select your desired pattern later, once the campaign is completed through a survey we will send.

And finally, please be aware that two of our patterns are size-specific (i.e., "Very Serious" is only available for Heroclip Small and "Go Play" is only available for Heroclip Mini, while our Woodland Hero camouflage pattern is available for both). The Woodland Camo Medium is available as part of the Woodland 3-Pack.

 

The camouflage pattern is now unlocked!

Available for Mini, Small and Medium (Medium is available as part of the 3-pack).

We were inspired to create the Sports Set by our partnership with our local WNBA team, the Seattle Storm, and their efforts to engage youth in more sports and active life. Ten percent of sales from this perk will go to Grassroot Soccer, an organization that leverages the power of soccer to educate, inspire, and mobilize at-risk youths to overcome their greatest health challenges and live healthier, more productive lives. [Read more about Grassroot Soccer in the FAQs].

 

Customized, rad socks that embody our mantra of exploration, fun, functionality and our team’s (bizarre) obsession with spirit animals. Designed by our in-house creative, Ian. We love how our animals are heroically climbing up a daunting and scary cliff, just like we hope you do as well. To make our socks even more awesome, we have partnered with Insect Shield, enemy number one of bugs and insects, to treat our socks with mosquito and insect repellent. We all know how annoying it is to get an itch on your feet -- now, you won’t. [To get socks or bandanas: Make a $12 "CONTRIBUTION" (discount from $15) for every unit you would like (e.g., $12 for one item, $24 for two, etc.). You will get a survey after the campaign to tell us how many of each you want. ]

 

 

Keep the sun off of your neck, hair out of your eyes, use it as a napkin, wrap a gift. It’s hard to think of a piece of clothing that can do as much as a bandana can (and you know how we at Heroclip are all about products that do more). The cool graphics here match the Hero socks and the Luci design, so get them all! To make it even more essential, we are treating the bandana with Insect Shield, an insect and mosquito repellent. Stylish, useful and helps you from being chewed up by bugs -- sounds like a no-brainer to us.   [To get socks or bandanas: Make a $12 "CONTRIBUTION" (discount from $15) for every unit you would like (e.g., $12 for one item, $24 for two, etc.).

Everything you need to be in your own hero, everyday. One Heroclip of each size, a pair of socks and a bandana.

 

Heroclip and out custom Luci lantern (Pro Series, Outdoor 2.0 model, valued at $39.95) -- we've got a few things in common. Both our products are weather-proof, durable, and adventure-obsessed. And they both utilize patented technology (not many can make that claim!) These are just a few of the reasons why we're partnering up to empower everyday heroes.

Luci is a solar inflatable light, with a USB charge port that powers our phones while we're on-the-go. Together, Heroclip and Luci created a custom design, that reflects the ways both products seamlessly adapt to any environment or circumstance. The custom Luci and the 3 matching Heroclips are beautiful and smart—just like the way we do, well, everything. [Learn more about Luci and our partnership in the FAQs.]

 

 

We know that some of you are “one-of-a kind” people.  For you, we created the Founder Series, an exclusive edition of Heroclip, available just for our backers in super limited quantities. Just as crowdfunding is in our DNA, so are the glorious mountains of Washington, as they were the inspiration behind the invention of Heroclip. We start our Founder Series with "Mt. Rainier" in all three sizes, and as our campaign reaches certain milestones, we will release new models for the series. This Mt. Rainier clip pattern was designed by our in-house creative director, Ian.

 

This one is for those who really love us and can’t get enough of Hero stuff.  Three each of every size we make, 2 sets of Heroclip x Luci, 2 pairs of Hero socks, 2 bandannas. The colors of the Heroclips will be red, blue, one surprise.

 

Our partner, the WNBA’s Seattle Storm (Seattle’s one and only professional basketball team!), has partnered with us to offer Heroclip backers a suite for a mutually agreed-upon game where you will not only get to root for some of the strongest and most athletic women in the country but also enjoy delicious food and drinks. AND each guest gets 3 Heroclips (one of each size), a pair of socks and bandanna.  AND you get to hang out with the Heroclip team!

 

 

 

As a company, we were born from crowdfunding and successfully delivered two products. Over the past year, we've built several rounds of prototypes of the new sizes of Heroclip. We have put everything we learned about manufacturing, quality control and logistics from our previous production and created a process to ensure that all of our production goes as smoothly as possible. Our company already has a track record of delivering products to crowdfunding backers and we have produced and sold over 220,000 units in the lifetime of this line.  The quality of our existing product is high enough to have been placed in large retailers like REI, Brookstone and ACE Hardware, and our capacity is robust enough to fulfill these orders.

Despite our company's success so far, the reality is that producing goods in high enough volume so that they are affordable to all (we truly believe that the Heroclip line will benefit EVERYONE's lives) requires capital.  With your help, we can bring the extended Heroclip family to life!

 

 

We have production and quality figured out.  Please check out some of our customers' comments about the Original Heroclip!

 

 

Several years ago, Heroclip inventor, Mina Yoo had a baby, decided to summit Mt. Rainier and moved into a fixer-upper home all within a few months of each other.  With this series of events, she had a profound realization: Two hands are not enough to for the gear that comes with living a full life. Tired of suffering silently (or not so silently, some might say), Mina decided to invent an "extra hand" in the simplest form possible. With the help of award-winning consumer product designer, John Bandringa, Heroclip is the result, and thanks to the backers on Indiegogo, we were able to bring the first Heroclip model to life, to a great deal of acclaim and positive feedback.

 

 

With the success of the original Heroclip, Mina now has a team who makes sure that the whole world can enjoy a more carefree, adventurous lifestyle, with the help of Heroclip.Our team has successfully launched and delivered hundreds of thousands of units of the Heroclip line and includes a veteran product designer, product developer and manufacturing engineer who collectively have 60+ years of experience in bringing completed products to the hands of users.

 

 

We think that making a physical product that help make daily life more manageable and adventurous is one of the coolest things we could do. Check out how we made endless prototypes of the new sizes to make sure we had the shape and size as optimal as possible. And then, we tested them to make sure that we deliver on what we promise.

 

There are always challenges when making a new product. Before selecting our current factory, our team made extensive visits to various manufacturers, interviewing them and reviewing their work to select the right partner.  Having selected one, we have worked closely with them to ensure that communication lines, quality expectations and delivery timelines are crystal clear. Andy, our manufacturing engineer, is based in Hong Kong and maintain daily contact with our manufacturing partner and visit them at least weekly to ensure that we are on schedule and quality standards are met or exceeded.
 

 

1. How do I get multiple perks?

After you get your first perk, go back to the campaign and now make a "CONTRIBUTION" for the sum of all the additional perks you would like.  After the campaign, we will send you a form so you can tell us what perks you would like.

 

2. How do I add those cool socks and bandanas?

The socks and bandanas will retail for $15 each. However, for our backers, we will provide a discount of 20% ($3 off!). So, if you would like some, please make a "CONTRIBUTION" of $12 for each unit you want (so, $24 for two, $36 for three, etc.). After the campaign, we will send you a form so you can tell us how many of which you would like.

 

3. Why Heroclip?

Heroclip was launched as a crowdfunding campaign in 2014 (under the name "Qlipter"). The second generation, "Qliplet," was born a year later. In mid-2017, we decided to rebrand as “Heroclip” as the new name embodied our spirit and desire to turn everyone into heroes who fit the extraordinary into their days (plus nobody knew how to pronounce "Qlipter" and "Qliplet").

Heroclip has two folding hinges and a rotating joint to help hanging items find their natural center of gravity. The foot of of the hook has a rubber overmold to increase grip when resting on surfaces. Our Heroclips are made out of solid aluminum using CNC machining.This allows us to offer more colors and a smooth, anodized finish on our new models. Heroclips hold up to 40, 50, or 60 lbs depending on the model.

 

4. What’s Luci and what’s up with your partnership?

At Heroclip, we are about creating innovative solutions for every day and in the process, empowering everyday heroes to do what they already do, more easily. Mpowerd (the awesome company that makes Luci) believes that through clean, affordable light, they make the world a brighter place for the people who still live without reliable access to electricity. This is, of course, a cause we can really hang with.

 

5. Why give to Grassroot Soccer?

We were introduced to Ethan Zohan the co- founder of Grassroot Soccer last year when we  sponsored a fun run benefiting the organization. We were struck by the work he and his organization does and the similarities in our values:  We both believe in active life, education and becoming change agents in our communities. Read more about this awesome organization here.

7.  How/when will you ship?

This isn’t our first rodeo! We are utilizing Backerkit to help ensure your success with our customer service and order processing.

Please check for details regarding ship ETA dates and in the "Updates" section of our campaign for more information.

We will ship all units, international and domestic, using the US Postal Service (USPS). Within the US, for pledges over $50, we will ship via US Priority Mail with tracking.  Please check your chosen perks to see more details on individual shipping information.

Important notes:

  • Once your order has shipped, the order is processed and finalized and we can not edit your order, color, quantity or shipping address until it has returned to us. Be sure to triple check your order is correct before submitting your info.
  • If you would like to exchange your Heroclip for another color or size, you will be responsible for postage costs to and from our HQ. Once received we will confirm your shipment exchange with a new tracking number with the amended order details. If you made an error with your information, we must wait for that order to be back in our hands before reshipping.
  • We do not cover the expenses of international customs or duties. You are responsible for this and for any packages held for payment at your local post carrier.

 

8. I can't close my Heroclip. Is it broken?

To open and close your Heroclip, the gate needs to be pressed in and the top hook needs to be swiveled/ swung to the side of the biner/ clip section, as demonstrated in this video. Your Heroclip nests on top of the biner. It will not close if you try to close the hook over the top of the biner. We promise, it’s not broken -- see our video for a demo!

 

9. What is Herocrew?

Herocrew is a quickly growing closed Facebook group where our community members discuss, share, vote and engage with each other about Heroclip.
