Go Guarded: Embrace Freedom, Feel Secure

Do you remember that feeling of freedom when you go running, walking, or exploring? That wind on your face, the energy in your legs… it’s pure life. But let’s be honest, deep down, many of us carry a small worry. That little voice that asks, “Am I truly safe?” At Go Guarded, we understand this duality. We know you want to live life to the fullest, to feel free and strong, and that’s why we’ve created more than just simple tools: we’ve created peace of mind. With our motto “Run Smarter. Run Guarded.”, we invite you to rediscover the joy of your passions, knowing that you are ready for anything.

The Real Concern: We Want You to Feel Safe

We cannot ignore what is happening around us. It’s painful to hear those stories, to see how insecurity tries to rob us of the peace and freedom to enjoy what we love. Running on a trail, strolling through the park, exploring a new route… moments that should be solely ours, but sometimes are tainted with worry. At Go Guarded, we not only acknowledge it, but we feel it. That’s why our reason for being is simple yet powerful: we want you to feel invincible. We want every woman and every runner to know they have the power to defend themselves, to protect their space, their body, their life, should that unthinkable moment arrive. It’s more than protection; it’s empowerment.

Real Stories: When Go Guarded Makes the Difference

Sometimes, words aren’t enough to describe the true impact. It’s the real stories, the voices of those who have lived through fear and found strength, that speak for themselves. This is one of those stories, an anonymous yet moving testimony that illustrates what it means to have a Go Guarded tool with you:

“When my husband first saw me with the ring, he joked that I’d be more worried about stabbing myself than an attacker. Nobody thinks it’s going to happen to them. But that was before that cold winter morning. I was on my usual run when suddenly I heard breathing and footsteps too close. I turned, and before I could react, he pushed me to the ground. The intention was clear, and he was on top of me. It was in that instant, amidst the panic, that my hand found the ring. I stabbed him in the face, and to my relief, he stopped and fled. The police found him because he dropped his phone and, of course, because of that unmistakable wound on his cheek. Since that day, my Go Guarded is a part of me. I never leave home without it, and if I’m alone at home, I often wear it. Thank you, Go Guarded, for giving me the opportunity to defend myself. Thank you for a future without fear. He received an 8-year sentence and faces more charges elsewhere.”

A story that gives you goosebumps, doesn’t it? But also a story that reminds us that having a discreet, ready-to-use tool can be the difference between a before and an after.

Our Way of Thinking: You Forget You’re Wearing It, Until You Need It.

At Go Guarded, every design is born from a question: How can we make you feel as safe as possible, without taking away an ounce of your freedom or enjoyment? This is how we do it:

• Total Comfort: Who better to design something for runners than other runners? We have tested and adjusted each product again and again, striving for perfection. We want you to barely notice it, to blend in with you, so you can concentrate on the rhythm of your breathing, on the landscape, on your moment, not on what you’re wearing.
• Hands-Free, Mind-Free: We know that when you’re on the go, every second counts, and your hands are important. Our tools are designed to be “hands-free.” Drink water, check your route, stretch… you don’t have to worry about holding anything extra. You simply put it on and forget about it, until you need it.
• Proven Effectiveness: There’s no room for improvisation here. Our founder, with her vast experience in criminal justice and law, has poured all her knowledge into every design. Each product is created to be a potent and decisive defense. It’s not just a tool; it’s your shield, designed by someone who truly understands what it takes to protect oneself.

Expert Product Reviews: Go Guarded Self-Defense Tools for Active Lifestyles

At Go Guarded, we believe in empowering individuals with personal safety solutions that integrate effortlessly into their active lives. Our designs are born from the necessity for comfort, discretion, and proven effectiveness. Let’s delve deeper into some of our flagship products to understand how they align with our philosophy of making you feel safe without compromising your freedom.

The Go Guarded Ring: Discreet Power on Your Finger

The Go Guarded Ring is ingeniously crafted to be a subtle yet potent self-defense tool. Its design allows it to be worn continuously, becoming a natural extension of your hand. Unlike other defensive aids that might be dropped or fumbled in a high-stress situation, the ring remains securely anchored, ready for immediate use. Its primary strength lies in its discretion and constant accessibility, embodying the “hands-free, mind-free” principle. The poignant real-life testimony shared earlier vividly illustrates its capability: a runner, pushed to the ground, found salvation in the immediate availability and decisive impact of her Go Guarded Ring, turning a terrifying encounter into an act of successful self-defense. This story is a powerful testament to the ring’s ability to provide a potent, close-quarters defense when every second counts. Its main weakness, if any, is its reliance on direct physical engagement, lacking the deterrent or distance capabilities of other tools.
Verdict: An indispensable tool for those seeking uncompromising, always-ready, discreet, and direct personal protection.
Recommendation: Highly recommended for runners, walkers, and anyone seeking a low-profile, high-impact defense solution that integrates seamlessly into their daily wear.

The Go Guarded Handheld Device: Versatile Dual-Threat Protection

The Go Guarded Handheld Device is a testament to layered security, offering both a deterrent and a direct defense mechanism. This versatile companion allows users to choose between a potent pepper spray for distance threats or a loud alarm to attract attention, both interchangeable according to preference. Should a situation escalate to close quarters, an integrated tip provides an additional physical defense option. Its strength lies in its adaptability, giving users multiple response options based on the developing threat. The ability to switch between spray and alarm empowers the user to tailor their preparation. However, as a handheld device, it requires active deployment and might not be as “hands-free” as the ring during an intense activity. Its usability shines in situations where a visible deterrent or a vocal alert is desirable before resorting to physical defense.
Verdict: A comprehensive solution offering flexible and adaptable defense strategies for various threat scenarios.
Recommendation: Ideal for individuals who prefer having multiple defense options and are comfortable carrying a dedicated device, especially for varied outdoor activities or general personal safety.

The Kubotan – Your Self-Defense Keychain: Quick and Accessible Impact

The Kubotan, a small but mighty self-defense keychain, epitomizes simplicity and immediate access. Designed to attach directly to your keys, it ensures that a tool for self-defense is always within reach. Its power lies in its discreet nature and ease of handling, making it an effective impact tool in high-pressure situations. This product aligns perfectly with the “forget you’re wearing it, until you need it” philosophy, as it’s a natural part of your everyday carry. Its primary function is to provide a sharp, focused impact, capable of deterring an attacker through pain compliance. While highly effective for close-range defense, its effectiveness can be amplified with basic knowledge of vulnerable points. Its main limitation is that it’s a purely kinetic tool, lacking the distance or noise generation of other Go Guarded products.
Verdict: An essential, always-present, and highly effective tool for rapid, close-range self-defense, easily integrated into daily life.
Recommendation: Perfect for anyone seeking a discreet, simple, and powerful self-defense tool that is always on hand and requires minimal thought to deploy.
