WARNING, SHOCK!

No-Contact Jacket

Ummm, if women the world over start rockin' the No-Contact jacket, I fear for all the men at clubs that have "grabby" hands. At some point, I'm sure some gay man will find a way to wear it but then again, doesn't that defeat the purpose? A gay man that doesn't like to be touched by those "grabby" hands? Anyways, that's another discussion.

Just what is the No-Contact Jacket? It's a jacket designed to intervene into the social condition of violence against women. I would file this under the category of "smart clothing" but this jacket goes one step further. Moving entirely in a different direction, where most smart clothes encourage, assist, and enhance tactile touch, the No-Contact jacket delivers up to 80,000 volts of electricity into anyone engaged in unauthorized contact with the wearer.

The electricity pulses beneath the shell of the entire jacket and can be deactivated by the wearer. As an added safety benefit, the entire surface is coated with a waterproof nylon to protect it from rain.

you gotta go to their site and check out the videos
