EVERY week, the Northglen News brings you ‘Things You Never Knew Existed’. This week it’s the Kingii Wearable, a new wristband that functions as a floatation device. According to the inventors, the Kingii is lightweight and can be worn in and around water.

The device is meant to save lives and is the smallest inflatable in the world. Although this wristband cannot replace a life vest it can give you additional buoyancy says the Tom Agapiades, founder and president of the company.
