How it all started
What’s a Wristlet?
By definition, a wristlet is a small, slim hand held pouch with a short strap designed to be worn around the wrist. Call it a functional fashion statement if you want to.
In 2017, we got inspired when one of our team member’s girlfriend gifted him a handmade wristlet. The design was functional and intuitive. We then went through some basic design improvements and material selection to create our own version of it. Everyone was happy with the result and the whole team started using it as a casual EDC (Everyday Carry).
Weeks later, we started to receive enquiries about the wristlets, and if we are able to make more. So, we made more. Within the next few weeks, we started seeing people posting and sharing how they had personalised their wristlets and how it had become their primary EDC when going for a coffee with friends, a casual date night and even carrying it to attend their business meetings.
The wristlet was designed to carry minimum essentials while having the freedom to be personalised with morale patches, paracords, molle clips and etc. Only you define the limitations in personalising your wristlet.
We were happy with what we created but, we were not satisfied. After some in-depth discussions, we discovered in order to make it iconic, it has to be better! We took 1 year to design, prototype and repeat. We experimented with tons of materials… (like really… TONS!). We’ve also worked with various assembly techniques repetitively, we even spoke to all kinds of people to understand how they will use the wristlet and listen to their feedback from a user’s perspective.
Just when everything is going well… COVID-F*king 19 showed up (uninvited). As our ethos “Forged Through Adversity” reminded us, we took 1 more year to repeat the entire process with newer perspectives and improvements. We met up with even MORE people to test the product and gather feedback.
When did we realise it was ready? Well… It was during one of our team dinner at a restaurant, someone came over and asked “where can I get one of those?”.
BAMMMM!
The STEALTH X Wristlet is ready!
The STEALTH X Wristlet is designed with the user in mind and built based on user feedback. A key feature that sets it apart is the X-Pac® VX21 fabric used externally. It is both waterproof and flexible. It keeps all your essentials away from rain, debris and other unexpected situations while maintaining the expansion capability when the contents increases.
Furthermore, the protective padded layer provide basic impact protection and maintain the overall structure. While an optional large loop panel on the front allows the use of identification insignia and personalisation.
It is also equipped with a padded carrying handle that is adjustable and ambidextrous. Instead of adjusting the length of the handle, it is adjusted by the location of the anchor points to allow more carrying style to meet different user preference.
Being ambidextrous means this wristlet is meant for everyone, be it left or right hander. It is thoughtfully built with two way directional access to all pockets and compartments. Paired with YKK RC Zipper, specially designed for carrying applications where resistance to abrasion is crucial.
Internally, the ripstop material is both water resistant and abrasion resistant which provides a second layer of protection to the content. The high-vis orange enhances the user’s visual reaction times when accessing essential items.
