FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Guardian Sleeve?

The Guardian Sleeve is a discreet wearable safety device that combines GPS tracking, a hidden camera, and an integrated pepper spray system into a comfortable arm sleeve.

Who is it for?

The Guardian Sleeve is designed to protect anyone who may find themselves vulnerable, including:

• women and men
• children
• college students
• travelers
• runners
• commuters
• elderly adults
•  individuals navigating unfamiliar environments
• anyone who desires a better sense of safety
• someone neurodivergent or on the spectrum who desires additional safety precautions

When will the Guardian Sleeve be available?

The Guardian Sleeve is currently in pre-sale.
The official product release is scheduled for Summer 2026.

What happens when I order a pre-sale?

Once you complete your pre-sale purchase, you will immediately receive:

• a Guardian Sleeve Pre-Sale Certificate confirming your reservation
• updates on product development
• priority shipping when the product launches

Your pre-sale secures your device before public release.

What sizes does the Guardian Sleeve come in?

The sleeve is offered in two sizes:

• Child Size
• Adult Size

Both are designed to fit comfortably and stay in place during daily activities.

Is it washable?

Yes it is washable and re-wearable. 

Will children have access to the pepper spray?

No one under 18 years of age will have access to the pepper spray.

How does the activation work?

You press the activation button of your choice on the sleeve.
This can trigger the pepper spray, starts GPS tracking, and activates the camera, all within seconds.

Is the pepper spray replaceable?

Yes. Pepper spray cartridges can be replaced after use. The pepper spray module would be comparable to compact, consumer-grade pepper spray units currently on the market, with an effective range of approximately 8–10 feet. This distance is ideal for personal defense while minimizing blowback risk. The spray is designed with a cone-style dispersion pattern, not a pinpoint stream. While the device should generally be aimed toward the assailant, it does not require precise targeting to be effective.

Will the Guardian Sleeve alert my emergency contacts?

Yes. Once activated, the device sends real-time location data and notifications to your pre-selected contacts. Integration with the mobile app allows full customization of emergency profiles.

Is the camera visible?

No. The camera is completely concealed within the sleeve’s fabric and blends seamlessly into the design. The integrated camera would use a wide-angle lens similar to those found in body cams and action cameras today. This provides approximately a 140°–160° field of view, which is closer to a wide 180° perspective rather than a full 360°

How long does the battery last?

Under normal use (standby mode with GPS on and camera activated only when needed), the battery is expected to last 48-72 hours obviously that depends on how often it is worn. Active camera recording and GPS tracking will naturally reduce total runtime, similar to other wearable electronics. It uses USB-C charging.

Does it require a subscription?

Not at the moment. Depending on the final release model, certain features such as cloud video storage or enhanced tracking may include low-cost optional subscriptions. More information will be released prior to Summer 2026.

Can children use the Guardian Sleeve?

Yes. The child-size version is designed for younger users, including students and kids who walk home, travel, or participate in activities alone.
