When A Man Loves A Woman…

There is some­thing really spe­cial and extra­or­di­nary about this entire expe­ri­ence of devel­op­ing the Scooter­Girls’ new line of Gogo Gear! Most incred­i­ble are the peo­ple that I’ve met along the way! Take for exam­ple, Don and Paulette Kin­caid of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Don con­tacted me near the start of the devel­op­ment of our GoGo Gear telling me that his wife Paulette who was a bit larger than a size 4 was hav­ing a hard time find­ing pro­tec­tive gear that she liked OR that fit her for when she was rid­ing her scooter. Don and I began a warm cor­re­spon­dence over the months about how we were secretly going to get Paulette a coat that she’d be thrilled with. The thing that I most mar­veled at about my com­mu­ni­ca­tions with Don was his absolute com­mit­ment and love for Paulette. There was no ques­tion that Paulette is the love of his life and he’d do any­thing to make her happy.

What could be a bet­ter story than that?! So, I set about try­ing to fig­ure out to take our coat designs and make them work for women in larger sizes. Through­out the process, many things resulted that made our coats bet­ter and bet­ter and would meet the needs of more and more women and to Don and Paulette Kin­caid, all I can say is a VERY BIG THANK YOU!!!

Don and Paulette trav­eled all the way from Fort Wayne, IN to see the Chicago pre­view of GoGo Gear and were treated to a pri­vate show­ing of the line prior to the pub­lic view­ing so that Paulette could pick out the coat/jacket of her choice and my com­mit­ment to her was that once we had our siz­ing com­plete, I would send her a sam­ple of the coat in her size so she could try it on and let me know what did and didn’t work for her so that then we could go back and do what­ever final mod­i­fi­ca­tions we needed to ensure we had the be st fit for women of ALL sizes. That sam­ple will soon be deliv­ered to her for her review.

So, to Don and Paulette… I can’t even begin to thank you for being on board so early on in this process and for truly believ­ing that we are going to finally deliver some­thing that will hope­fully meet the needs of ALL women rid­ers, regard­less of their shape or size!
