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.
