Line Of Workout Gear Offers Hidden Security While Exercising
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — You see it every day: women taking to the trails around the Southland for exercise and a little "alone time."
But sometimes that alone time can carry a big risk.
Avid runner Jennifer Cutrona described the close call she had when she says an attacker came at her.
"He jumped out of the bushes and grabbed for my arm," said Cutrona. "It just really terrified me."
It was that experience that led Jennifer to take action.
"I realized quickly that I had nothing on me and I was completely vulnerable," she said.
Cutrona is the creator of Booby Trap Bras, a brand new line of workout gear designed to keep you safe while you're on your run.
Outfitted with a razor sharp knife to protect women in case of an attack, Booby Trap Bras are more than just bras: there is a whole line of gear, even a bicep compression sleeve designed to hold your mace, perfect for the guys out there.
"I picked a knife that is very easy to draw and it's not going to be nervously dropped or taken from me," she said. "I don't have to face my attacker with this tool. I can just keep on going."
And the reaction from women?
"Women love this," said Cutrona. "We've had many women saying, 'Hey, I was attacked and this is the first thing that I've seen that would've helped me."
The "Just In Case Knife Bra" is available from boobytrapbras.com for $54.99. There's also a "Pepper Spray Bra" that retails for $49.99.
