Meet the ambidextrous, adjustable, waterproof firearm‑retention sling system, Mantis Gear!

This was an exercise in both soft-goods and hard-goods design and production that blended custom pieces with off-the-shelf options.

We started with a former marine’s rough-draft prototype and elevated it into a viable, durable product ready for demo day and fundraising.

Here’s where we came in:
⚙️ Concept Development
⚙️ CAD Design
⚙️ Eng️ineering
⚙️ Prototype Iterations

Take a look at some of the behind-the-scenes development!

How does Kicker support internal innovation teams?

⚙️Our Mechanical, Industrial, Medical, and Consumer product engineering team helps internal innovators move faster when existing processes are too slow or existing talent is already stretched thin.

⚙️We’re an agile extension, not a replacement for internal engineering or design teams.

⚙️Integrating Kickr as a collaborative partner reduces internal bottlenecks by owning key stages in the development process.

⚙️We bring clarity to the complex and help teams build with confidence.

Don’t stall out in the messy middle of your big idea. Let’s get it to market.

❌ Don’t lose the plot before you ever get beyond a CAD file.

Too often, we see startups and entrepreneurs waste time and money on the wrong path.

Their big idea? It might need to change before it will work in the real world.

And that takes testing, engineering expertise, and more.

→ The solution? A clear path from idea to a working, manufacturable prototype. One that gets you through the messy middle and out into the world.

Working with Kickr is the path, the engineering expertise, and the prototype support all wrapped up into one.

If you need an engineering partner to bring your big idea to life, let us help you get it to market.

You've got a product to build. But you've already tried to move it forward internally and hit a wall.

➡️Maybe your team is stretched too thin to take on something new.

➡️Maybe you're staring at a CAD file and a looming timeline, and you know you need outside help.

How should you actually evaluate a product development firm before you sign anything?

Here’s the answer: https://www.kickrdesign.com/build-with-confidence-how-to-evaluate-a-product-development-firm-before-you-sign-anything/

Not all product development firms are built the same. Here's how to evaluate your options with confidence before committing to a partner.
