“Slap bracelets” used to be in vogue when I was a kid. Remember those? They were the thin pieces of fabric-covered metal that you’d be eternally slapping on your wrists. Well, our friends over at Nite Ize have come up with a great modern-day equivalent that actually serves a very important purpose: Meet SlapLit!
SlapLit is a creative take on good old slap bracelets, with a practical twist – this “Bracelet” actually contains LED lights, which glow bright red when turned on. This can be worn around the wrist, arm or ankle, and has two light settings: One emits a solid glow, while the other flashes. This product is ideal for everything from outdoor activities to athletic endeavors and even emergency situations – wouldn’t it be nice to have something like this in your car that you could pull out in the event of a nighttime breakdown? Not to mention, this would be ideal for people like runners and bicyclists to wear to help increase their visibility and avoid traffic hazards. And yes, these would be great for raves, too. 😉
You may remember Nite Ize from our review of their INOVA X1 Flashlight earlier in the month – as with that product, I think that SlapLit is a great stocking stuffer item for guys. I’ve put this aside for Jai’s Christmas stocking – he loves fiddling around with these type of items, so I know he’ll have a great coming up with creative uses for SlapLit!
The SlapLit is available on NiteIze.com for $11.99. I received a complimentary product for the purposes of this review.
how COOL! I remember those slap it bracelets as a kid. I love that they brought them back but cool for adults!
Really neat!
my husband could SO use this on his nightly runs!
I remember the slap bracelet from the 1st grade LOL!! My son just got one but not as cool as this!
These would also be great for amusement parks at night.
