These are best described as a predictable weighted 'hug'.  Might look a little 'strange' in photos but we promise the support they provide is, for most, a game changer.  Gentle pressure though the shoulders and both back and front is incredibly 'comforting' to most.   Can be layered in multiples, to increase the weighted input.  

For many hugs can be challenging as you dont know how ard the hug wll be, how close the person will come into the hug and what other sensory challenges might also accompany the hug.   Tis chain maille vest provides a 'gentle hug' that is consistent and, for most incredibly comforting.  It provides gentle pressure & if worn on the skin, a cooling sensation.  We have even had people burst into tears when putting them on in response to the conmfort it provides them.  Some do use them for D & D, cos play and other similar events.  

This weighted 1.4 kilo metal vest is crafted from high-grade stainless steel rings, each individually hand crafted. 

We have designed these to be open at the sides so that it fits small or large frames & just slips over the head.   The wide neck is a V shape.  Helpful tool for 'picking' replacement, provides wonderful weight to the shoulder area & is cool to the touch.  Most find it grounding to wear draped over shoulders.  

There are soooooo many ways to use this.  The gentle 'tinkling' sound, the scrunchy texture & cool to touch of the stainless steel make for an awesome fidget and sensory tool.   Drape over the shoulders, in the lap or lay it flat on a surface and using your fingers,  move in a range of directions to form mesmerising patterns & movement.  Great for wearing while at the computer or sitting watching TV.  Can even be worn as an outer garment if you like.  Will certainly attract comments grin.   

"It's all about the symmetrical patterns I can create with these ones. Have spent long periods creating new shapes and patterns with my fingers. I feel like an artist creating a masterpiece when I'm playing with these. Feels good to place it on my skin and to pick/scratch at it. Loop attachment is super handy. Leroy C Sept. 2023"

FAQ

Typically we use Australia Post.  If it is more economical, we may use an alternative carrier and we deliver Australia wide.

We aim to post within 24 hours of receiving our order.

Once payment has been received we will send you an email confirmation.

Postage times will vary depending on location however in most cases you should receive your order within 3-5 business days from the purchase date.

Large or special items may incur additional postage and handling charges.

Can I have it sent Express Post?

Absolutely!  Just select that option at check out.  

Express Post orders are sent via Australia Post. Please refer to the Australia Post website for delivery time frames.  For items larger than Australia Post limits we use a range of courier services. 

Do you ship internationally?

We ship to most destinations around the world.  There are some set up for flat rate shipping. 

Please note that charges do not include any duty/taxes charged by your country's port authorities (if applicable).  You will be responsible for any charges they may add.  We are unable to quote these as they vary immensely from country to country. 

If you country isn't setup for flat rate shipping please email us a list of the products you are interested in and your shipping information /address to jo@kaikofidgets.com and we can provide you with a quote.

Again, please remember customs and duties are the responsibility of the Customer.

Please note shipping to Europe and UK is currently disabled on the website while I try get my head around the Brexit law changes and regulations.  

If your order is over 135 pound (approx 260 AUD) then we can ship and you pay the VAT on its arrival.  Unfortunately orders under this amount are way to complicated to manage as we have to charge all the fees our end. 

This is what is on the UK information pages:  For the sale of goods over £135, you might not be required to collect VAT at the point of sale. In this case, VAT and duties are remitted by the importer. If you use registration-based taxes and have a UK VAT registration, then VAT will not be applied to your sales to customers in the UK. If you choose to, you can charge your customer for VAT and duties at the time of sale, and then provide these funds to the shipper or importer using a shipping label. Alternately, you can send the orders without charging VAT and duties, and your customer will pay extra funds at the time of delivery.
