OUR VISION

An entirely new category of charging: wearable power.

Bodies aren’t static, and they don’t have straight lines, so wearable systems embedded in garments and accessories have to be robust, flexible, and, ideally, washable (or at least removable). We’re passionate about making the best wearable power products, and this is just the first step in creating a company that will define wearable power for generations to come. This is a fantastic time for wearables and wireless technology, and at OPS we have devloped our patent-pending technologies to suit today's active lifestlyes with additional applications for medical, military, and warehousing in the works.

OUR STORY

Friends for more than a decade, the founders are active techies who love the outdoors. Engineering students James Grabow, Jr. and Michael Hamfeldt met while completing their studies - Steve Woodruff (an Engineer himself) was their outspoken teacher of sorts. The three always knew that there had to be a better way to keep their mobile devices charged. The idea was simple and focused - wearable power. After months of brainstorming, testing, and iterations, their first prototype was created and OPS was born.
