Hasta La Ideas

The company Nihon Uni has created a t-shirt that they say will protect against stab wounds. They were doing research to find a lightweight way to offer a bit more security in your day to day routine. The shirt is made from a fiber that is three times stronger than the cotton used for an average T-shirt. It is a ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber, which is supposedly equal to the aramid fiber used in body armor. It will be released in Japan in June in both short sleeve and long sleeve versions, the long sleeve variant offering a bit more arm protection. The long sleeve will be sold for USD 220:- and the short-sleeved version for USD 190:-. Expensive, but perhaps we could hope that companies will buy them for their employees…brbr
