The Science of Deterrence: Noise as a Defence?

Studies consistently confirm that loud, sudden noise is one of the most effective deterrents against attackers or predators. The Personal Alarm is engineered to exploit this fact:

Piercing 120-Decibel Siren: The sound generated is equivalent to a nearby ambulance siren, designed to disorient a threat and instantly draw the attention of nearby people.

Dual Activation Methods: The alarm can be triggered via a push-button for quick, momentary blasts, or a pull-pin that activates a continuous siren, ensuring maximum flexibility in a high-stress moment.

Draw Attention, Interrupt Threat: In an emergency, the primary goal is to interrupt the situation and summon aid. The alarm achieves this instantly, turning a private moment of vulnerability into a public incident.

Engineered for Everyday Reliability

The Personal Alarm is designed to integrate seamlessly and reliably into your everyday carry without requiring special training.

Compact and Discreet: Its small, lightweight design means it fits easily into a pocket, purse, or backpack without adding bulk.

Integrated LED Light: Includes a built-in LED flashlight for navigating dark areas, ensuring visibility for both you and potential responders.

Simple Operation: Activation is intuitive and requires minimal motor skills, making it suitable and reliable for all ages (children, seniors, and adults).

This product carries the standard 1-Year Skimguard Warranty on general accessories, assuring its reliability.
