The SOS Rescue Lifesaver Ring was designed by Sheng Zhe Feng and Yu Chi Huang and is equipped with [GPS and a warming feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wati) in the ring. The heating feature will delay hypothermia and is powered by the electricity generated from the sea-water. I don’t know how it all works, but I have to say I want these stacked and ready the next time I [go on a cruise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-tubes).

Prepared for anything, designers Sheng Zhe Feng and Yu Chi Huang have put their cautious minds to create an incredible [life-saver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argus-ar). Find out more on the SOS Rescue Lifesaver Ring at the links below.
