Geared New Zealand began with a Kiwi mum, who quite simply wanted to keep her children safe and dry. "When my daughter started school I knew I needed to find her a raincoat that would not only keep her dry, but also ensure she was highly visible whenever she was near roads and traffic. The raincoat had to pack away easily into her school bag and be funky enough that she would want to wear it. I scoured the shops but my search was unsuccessful - there wasn't such a product. All I could find were dark navy and black raincoats! This discovery really concerned me. Road workers, emergency crews, truck drivers and the like all wear high visibility clothing, yet our cherished children are in traffic every day without the advantage of garments that will help keep them safe." Anna Southon That concern for the safety of New Zealand children has been the driving force behind the creation of ROADWORKS - unisex, high visibility, waterproof jackets. It has deliberately been our policy to design a raincoat that not only achieves the purpose of enhancing our childrens safety, but which can also be produced at an economical price, affordable to everyone. I invite you to purchase a ROADWORKS jacket and see the difference it makes to the visibility of your child - not just in busy urban areas but out on our rural country roads as well. Kristi Drain Director, Geared NZ In addition to protecting your kids, there is also an excellent opportunity to raise funds for your local school. Here in New Zealand, for every ROADWORKS raincoat purchased, $5.00 will be donated to your school * Click Here to find out more. * Fundraising option is limited to New Zealand schools and applies only to approved orders of ROADWORKS raincoats.
