Better than pepper spray

 

The No-Contact Jacket is a wearable defensive jacket

created to aid women in their struggle for protection from

violence. When activated by the wearer, 80,000 volts of

low amperage electric current pulses just below the surface

shell of the entire jacket. This exo-electric armor prevents

any person from unauthorized contact with the wearer's body.

If an assailant were to grab hold of the wearer the high voltage

exterior would interrupt their neurological impulses which

control voluntary muscle movement. The neuromuscular system

would be overwhelmed causing disorientation and loss of balance

to occur and of course pain. The pain experienced is non-lethal

but is enough to effectively and immediately deter contact

with the wearer and provide a critical life saving oppurtunity

for escape.
