New Wearable Tech for Sale: Light Up Cycling Gloves

Allowing bike commuters to increase their visual communication is the central goal of Zackees Inc - makers of the Turn Signal Gloves - now on sale direct to the public for the first time.

“There is a big communication gap between cyclists and drivers on the road. Our gloves give power to the cyclist so that their turning intentions are visually clear.” says Zach Vorhies, Founder and CEO. “I wanted to create a wearable product that makes cyclists stand out and communicate to drivers in a language they understand.”

Like a normal glove, this glove can be washed with the electronics left in. "We are one of the first consumer products where the electronics can be directly washed" says Founder and CEO, Zack Vorhies. "We did this by coating the electronics in a flexible polymer."

With a built in ambient light sensor, which boosts the LED’s eight times brighter than standard LED’s, cyclists have an additional flash during their commute.

Zackees, Inc is one of the first wearable fashion companies targeting cyclists for increased visual communication. The product is now on sale at Zackees.com and ready to ship in time for the holiday season.
