The Urban Eyes personal safety vest is light weight, reflective and consists of two cameras, one on the front and one on the back.

Your safety is paramount, and while wearing the Urban eyes vest does not make you invincible, what it does do is act as a visible deterrent. It can been seen from a distance letting people know that you are recording the route in front of you and behind you, leaving you to focus on your run, whilst urban eyes watches your back.

🐴💛 TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF OUR KICKSTARTER — BUT THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE URBAN EYES.

Today our Kickstarter campaign comes to an end and, unfortunately, we’re not going to reach our funding goal.

Of course, that’s disappointing. Not just for us, but for all of you who have followed this journey, shared our posts, sent messages, offered advice and, most importantly, backed and believed in The Urban Eyes.

To every single person who pledged — thank you. Your support genuinely means more than you probably realise.

But there is something really important we want everyone to know:

We are not giving up. In fact, The Urban Eyes has continued to move forward throughout this campaign.

We have read your comments and questions and, wherever possible, replied to every one of them. More importantly, we have listened.

Your feedback has directly helped us improve the vest.

We’ve increased the sizing options for the hi-vis vest, developed additional impact padding behind the camera mounts, worked on improvements to the design and listened carefully to what riders actually want from The Urban Eyes.

We’ve also been working hard with our manufacturers to reduce the delivery time — another change driven by the feedback we received from you.

And there’s much more happening behind the scenes.

🤝 We’re in the final stages of becoming an official partner of a respected equine insurance company.

📰 The Urban Eyes will shortly be featured in a well-known equine magazine as part of a feature looking at camera technology for the equestrian community.

💷 We’ve even had members of this community reach out to us about investing in The Urban Eyes and helping us take the next step.

None of that would have happened without you.

Every share, comment, conversation and recommendation has helped put The Urban Eyes in front of people and organisations that can help us make this happen.

So although the Kickstarter may be ending, our journey certainly isn’t.

We remain completely committed to getting The Urban Eyes onto the backs of horse riders everywhere — helping to encourage drivers to slow down, helping prevent incidents and, when something does happen, providing the vital front and rear video evidence riders may need.

And very soon, I’ll be showing you the new and improved Urban Eyes vest. 👀🐴

We’ll also be sharing details of how you will be able to order The Urban Eyes directly through our website.

So please keep asking questions.

Keep sharing.

Keep telling people about The Urban Eyes.

And most importantly, keep believing in what we’re trying to achieve.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to this incredible community for getting behind an idea that started with one simple goal:

Helping every rider get home safely. 💛

Kickstarter may be ending. The Urban Eyes is just getting started.

🐴 YOU ASKED ABOUT AIR VEST COMPATIBILITY… SO TODAY I TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM! 😂💥

One of the biggest questions we’ve had since launching The Urban Eyes has been:

“Will it work with an air vest?”

It was a fair question — and one I wanted to answer properly, not just assume.

So today we travelled to Hit-Air and put The Urban Eyes to the test.

And yes… I volunteered to be the crash-test dummy! 😂

💥 Air vest deployed
👀 The Urban Eyes worn over the top
✅ Full inflation achieved
✅ No restriction from The Urban Eyes
✅ Vest performed exactly as it should

A successful test.

For me, this is another important step forward. When our community raises genuine concerns or questions, I want to listen, investigate and, wherever possible, test them properly.

There are still more tests and development work ahead, but today we answered one of the biggest questions you’ve been asking.

And apparently inventing a safety vest now includes deliberately setting off an air vest while wearing it. 😂

I definitely took one for the team today!

Thank you to everyone who raised the question — you asked, we listened, we tested. 💛🐴

💛 YOU SPOKE. WE LISTENED. NOW WE’RE TAKING ACTION. 💛

Yesterday we asked this community a very honest question.

With so much interest in The Urban Eyes, what is stopping some of you from taking that next step and backing us?

The response was incredible. Hundreds of comments, messages, suggestions and some really honest feedback.

And we’ve listened to all of it.

So today isn’t about asking the same question again. It’s about doing something with the answers you gave us.

Over the coming days we’re going to work through the things you told us matter most:

🐴 Air vest compatibility — we’re working to get The Urban Eyes physically tested with an air vest.

💳 Spreading the cost — we’re looking at how we can make backing more manageable rather than having the cost come out in one payment.

💡 Lights — after so many requests, we’re exploring an optional light package.

📹 Recording & storage — we’ll explain exactly how it works and answer the questions you’ve raised.

🦺 The design & visibility — we’ll explain why The Urban Eyes was designed this way and, importantly, listen to what you’d like to see in the future.

📦 The wait for delivery — we’ll explain why crowdfunding works differently from buying a finished product off the shelf.

We can’t promise that we can change everything overnight.

But we can promise that we’re listening.

The Urban Eyes has never just been about creating another hi-vis vest. It’s about getting something onto riders’ backs that could make a genuine difference on our roads.

Yesterday you helped us understand what we need to do next.

Now it’s our turn to act. 💛

Please keep commenting, keep questioning us and keep sharing the journey.

And if you’ve been watching from the sidelines and believe in what we’re trying to achieve, we’d love you to come with us.
