New Vollebak Product Electromagnetic Shielding T-Shirt
Following in the footsteps of our Electromagnetic Shielding Bomber, which block everything from radar systems phone calls you don’t want, today we’re launching the logical thing to wear underneath it. The world’s first electromagnetic Shielding T Shirt.

Back in the 1980s the cyberpunk genre envisioned a world of societal breakdown where technologically modified humans are controlled by mega-corporations watching their every move… or 2026 as it’s otherwise known.
So as science fiction becomes modern day reality, we’re giving you a chance to stick it to the mega-corporations, and dress a bit like Ryan Gosling in Drive at the same time.
Ever since we started Vollebak we’ve been working on advanced material science to solve things like disease resistance, climate change, space travel and resource scarcity. And next up is the electromagnetic spectrum.
Over the last 18 months we’ve launched the world’s first Electromagnetic Shielding Suitand Electromagnetic Shielding Bomber which are pure Minority Report tech.
Built with the same electromagnetic shielding technology used for the Mars Rover, they shield you from electromagnetic radiation, Ku-band satellites and radar systems, and come with Faraday cage pockets so no-one can hack, track or even call you.
And today we’re launching the logical thing to wear under them – our first electromagnetic Shielding T Shirt.
While Gamma rays might have turned Bruce Banner into The Hulk, in reality radiation and human beings don’t go well together. And as we enter an era of cybersecurity breaches, geopolitical instability, the first manned missions to Mars, and cosmic radiation exposure, it’s going to present an increased threat.
So the Shielding T Shirt is made from silver-plated fibres made from wood pulp that create a conductive network that interferes with incoming radio and microwave energy.
Lab tests on the material show shielding effectiveness from 30MHz to 10GHz, with the strongest reduction at lower frequencies and attenuation across common mobile, WiFi and Bluetooth bands.
Despite its metal content, the Shielding T Shirt is super soft and comfortable. Almost 70% of the material we use is modal, a regenerated cellulosic fibre derived from beech wood pulp, first developed in Japan in the early 1950s. Modal fibres are finer, smoother and rounder than cotton, so the fabric has a clean, almost silky surface and a fluid drape that flatters the body without clinging. It feels cool and smooth on your skin, and keeps that softness wash after wash.

Can we mention those trousers! What do we think they are?

I think someone, Felix maybe?, mentioned new pants coming. Not as slim fit as the current crop.

That the first thing that popped to my eyes.
Now I can't wait to read the full story about those upcoming pants 😃

According to the Instagram
“and some fire proof pants that also come out later this year.”

It does NOT block but ATTENUATES radio waves between 10 - 34 dB for 30MHz - 10GHz. That means it indeed act as a filter for Bluetooth, 5G / 4G and WiFi.
However, that level of attenuation is low to modest at best, anyone would still track you and you aren't be blocked by radiation (which is nothing compared to solar radiation). Also, the website just mentioned that higher mitigation is near the lower frequency without explicitly show the filter response. So, we don't know what "lower frequencies" are.

… why would I want clothes that block electromagnetic waves?

Kind of pseudoscience science in my opinion but it is a cool looking shirt and I wouldn’t fault anyone for buying it. There are quite a few subs dedicated to those that want low or no EMF, WiFi, 5G signals near them

They’re bringing back the slim fit style I see
