Wonder Hoodie’s founder, previously a Health and Safety Manager for some of the world’s largest companies, has trained thousands of employees through earthquake, environmental disaster, and active shooter training. While she started Wonder Hoodie out of a very personal experience with gun violence, her background grounded her belief that bulletproof clothing belonged in every emergency tool kit and alongside every fire extinguisher. She also believed that every employee should be trained on our changing preparedness landscape and how to use their new tools during an emergency. She was set on designing a product that would give its wearer the greatest chance of survival when self-defense is the only option left. 

Since then, Wonder Hoodie has won several awards for its redesign of modern body armor and has been approached by police departments, school districts, and large companies to help update their emergency preparedness plan with its extensive product line.

• Custom Gear Usage: Training includes demonstrations on how to quickly and effectively wear Wonder Hoodie products during an emergency, ensuring everyone knows how to protect themselves under stress.
• Seamless Protection for Everyday Use: The discreet design of the hoodies ensures participants can wear them regularly without feeling out of place, making it easier to incorporate protective gear into daily routines without disruption.

• Practical Integration into Existing Plans: The products can easily fit into existing active shooter protocols, enhancing overall safety without requiring a complete overhaul of current procedures.

This approach adds both psychological and physical preparedness, providing comprehensive protection in high-risk scenarios.

Last-Mile Transportation Protection

The last use case we’ll discuss for Wonder Hoodie products has been a growing concern for employees or students who walk home from their work or schools respectively. The journey home for some can be fraught with uncertainty, especially in neighborhoods with a history of crime or violence.

• Discreet Everyday Protection:Our protective clothing blends into casual attire, offering safety during commutes without attracting unwanted attention or compromising style.
