| About The Winner: | Switch Sticks is an innovative product revolutionising the mobility market. It is estimated by the Bureau of Statistics that one in five Australians young and old have some form of disability. Many people rely on a stick at some point in their life and up until now their choices have been limited to dull standard issue walking sticks. Switch Sticks recognises that not only are the ageing Australian population more fashion conscious, but there are also a large number of young MS sufferers, those with sports injuries and a large number of people who need walking sticks to cope with various medical conditions. Selling in over 100 outlets across Australia and New Zealand, Switch Sticks offer a range of stylish walking sticks that keep people moving and looking good. With seasonal collections, they are a new fashion accessory making a dull functional item fashionable and fun. Switch Sticks are funky, bright and colourful, made with lightweight aluminium and are aimed at all ages with a sense of style. They are adjustable, convenient and easy to carry by folding up to just 25cm. They come with a cool little water resistant carry bag, are fitted with a coordinating wrist strap and comfortable wood handle. Designed to suit most adults they are height adjustable to 3 sizes. They are medical devices rigorously tested and certified making them safe and secure. Switch Sticks don’t believe that you need to compromise on safety to look stylish. |
