SURVIVOR'S STORY

Go Guarded saved me
This is a short version of my story. It has been a journey that I continue to travel.

When I first bought the ring – my husband was more worried that I would fall and stab myself. He never thought I could hurt someone Else. But that was before the morning last winter. I was running and heard breaths and footsteps behind me. I turned just as my attacker pushed me to the ground with the intent to rape me. He was on top of me. I stabbed him in the face with my ring and thankfully he stopped and ran away. The police were able to identify him because he dropped his cell phone at the scene of the crime and also because he had an obvious stab wound on his cheek. I never leave my house without my go guarded and when I am home alone – I often have it on me. Thank you go guarded. My attacker will serve an 8 year sentence and also is facing charges in another county for a similar crime.

Security!

My Go Gaurded ring gives me a new sense of security on my runs! Just knowing I can protect myself if needed lets me focus on relaxing and getting “settled” into my run. Customer service is great as well! P

Not practical

If you’re wearing the ring and needing to use it - doing the punching motion wouldn’t use the blade at all. In order to use it, you would need to do an unnatural hand motion, which in a moment of panic I’m sure wouldn’t be easy to think of

Hi Erica- Thanks for your feedback. Please note, Go Guarded Ring is not designed to be used in a punching motion, but rather a swiping motion. You may consider the Go Guarded Hand-Held (either by its self or with pepper spray, alarm, or stunner) which can be used for hammer strikes, as that product might be a better fit for you. If you'd like to exchange your Ring, please just email Jodi@goguarded.com and we will get you squared away. Thanks

I feel safer already!

I have been looking for something that fits my hand comfortably and this product is just right! I run alone and need something that gives me confidence that I can protect myself if needed. This device is just what I've been looking for, I hope I never have to use it but if I do, I'll be ready!

Feeling safe

I feel safe and comfortable going out for a run by myself. The shipping was fast

GO GUARDED HAND-HELD WITH STUN DEVICE

Great customer service! Good fit.

The ring I purchased was too big. Customer service was amazing and they helped get us the correct size. Now the ring fits perfectly! Would highly recommend.

Very comfortable

Fits well, I was able to adjust the size easily, and I have more confidence knowing I can defend myself if I have to.

Just the sound alone will scare someone

I bought the knife alone months ago and loved how easy it was to carry even with winter running gloves. Then saw the new taser knife combo and decided to upgrade. The combo definitely gives me more peace of mind on my runs and the sound of the taser alone will scare the sh** out of anyone. I now feel that I can control a situation to keep myself safe.

Love my GO Guarded Ring

I'm so glad that I got this. I run before sun up and have always been careful about my route. This ring helps me feel better about being out so early by myself.

Sharp

It's very sharp and will cut. Made strong and well. Love the ringer sizer.

Great Product

The Go Guarded ring and handheld are outstanding products and service was excellent. I purchased these for my daughter in law who is a runner.

Love this! Feel Empowered

It really just makes me feel safe while running. Gives me the power to know I am not going down without a fight. I live in an area growing that has constant construction and tons of people coming and going into our neighborhood. I had a white truck follow me and then I knew I needed to protect myself.

Great product!!!

Love this product and everything company stands for!
One wish is that band was more adjustable as feels loose sometimes
I will be ordering more products ( ring knife )

I love it!

I feel so much safer on my morning run now!!

One of my favorite personal protection items!

This is a favorite for my running and cycling. I love that the ring stays on my finger, ready to go if needed (you don't have to reach for it, saving precious seconds), and generally doesn't get in the way. Also, it's appearance doesn't scream "weapon" like similar items. In my opinion, you can't find a knife ring this good anywhere else! That said, my only issue is that the sizing is weird on my large hands--medium is just a tad too small (squeezes my finger), yet the large (with a sizer in place) feels a tad too chunky (can't make a normal fist). But overall, I love it.

Great tool!

I love using this while I run! Great creation.

A little piece/peace of mind

Girl Power! While I never wish to use this, I feel a little safer having it. I always wanted something that couldnt be dropped or taken away and may create enough of an injury or scare for me to get away. Thank you!

Love it!

The Go Guarded ring helps me feel so much more safe when I’m out for a run knowing I have something to help protect myself. It’s light, the perfect size and super sharp to be effective if the unthinkable happens. I never leave without it!

Running Ring

This ring is so easy to wear while you are running and gives you an extra layer of security!

Feel so much safer

It’s super comfortable and easy to hold. I’ve been doing workouts and long runs while using it. At first I was bit worried I would hurt myself when running faster but it angles out perfectly. I run as early as 4:30 am and feel so much safer knowing I have something to defend myself with if necessary.

Perfect to go with the GoGuarded handheld
