Now here is an innovative new product to give your passengers something to grab hold of, the Gripper Vest. Created by inventor Stephan Pease, the vest features four removable handles that passengers can use to get a secure grip on the operator.
“My wife and I were out riding on our motorcycle, and I noticed she was having a tough time finding a comfortable riding position,” said creator Stephan Pease. “When we returned home I began to search for a solution to this problem. I discovered that there were no suitable products which would be safe and comfortable for both the rider and the pillion passenger, the idea for the Gripper Vest was born.”
While it was originally designed for motorcycles, the Gripper Vest can be used on scooters, snowmobiles, jet skis, ATVs, and even horses. The vest is currently in the start-up phase, but production will take place as soon as enough funds are raised. You can click here to help pledge money by pre-ordering your vest, and help to reach the $20,000 needed to put this into production. Even though production costs would be higher, Pease also plans on having the vest manufactured in the United States anyway.
“I am firmly committed to keeping jobs in the US, as well as making sure that the vest is manufactured to the highest possible standard,” Pease said. “ I believe that employing a local workforce is the best way to deliver total quality to the customer.”
Built to “extremely high standards”, the Gripper Vest features 1000 denier Cordura and fastens with YKK zippers and Nexus buckles on the outside, and a nylon-webbed harness on the inside of the vest. The vest is created to Department of Defense standards and can be used as an approved reflective vest on all military bases. All together these features help create a solid vest that can help keep both the passenger and operator a little more safe.
