he quickest way to the eyeballs and minds of tens, hundreds, and thousands of people in a position to make you the designer you want to be is to innovate on an invention that hasn’t had any innovations in years and years and years. Designer Ryan Klinger takes the sling, the sling for the arm that is, and makes it modern. Just a piece of cloth right? Sling your arm up with a ripped up t-shirt like Rambo? It’s a skilled designer that can innovate on something so unbelievably simple. Ryan Klinger was in the perfect position to design this design. After a snowboard accident and 4 months with his arm in a crappier sling, Klinger got to work. No designer worth his salt lets a little thing like -1 arm do him in. This “SureSling” is a removable shoulder support that’s full of thermo-gel that can be heated or cooled to relieve pain and swelling. Suitable for broken clavicles, shoulders, forearms, and all sort of fun stuff like that. Adjustable in several ways, including an arm-rest pump that can be inflated for a custom fit/feel. Straps and size adjustments are easily within reach of the free arm for self-fixing. Stromatex (breathable neoprene) is used for the main material so the user can both take showers without being all soppy wet and because breathable = cool in the heat. Anti-gravity palm support, water-proof velcro, beautiful sepia color scheme.
