SimpliSafe wants to make sure nobody gets past your social-distancing bubble.
That’s why the home security company has created the SimpliSafe Social Distancing Sweater, which it debuted on Monday.
A version of the brand s holiday sweater features festive snowflakes and knitted locks that are outfitted with a flashing light alarm system. The sweater will allegedly go off with flashing lights and a screeching noise if a person gets closer than 6 feet of the wearer, a humorous promo video shows.
However, SimpliSafe’s motion-detecting sweater is a prototype that’s not actually being sold to the public.
Instead, the company has given away a limited quantity of the same sweater without the lights and alarm system in exchange for charitable donations to NeighborWorks America Rental Resilience Fund – a nonprofit initiative dedicated to easing the impacts of rent loss. The donations are said to be helping people economically impacted by COVID-19, according to SimpliSafe’s press
