Stun Gun Protection

April 6th, 2006        

Getting zapped by a stun gun is surely terrifying. But what if you could take a stun on your chest with a smile on your face. Thor Shield, a polyester fabric, is designed to do just that, and is currently being incorporated in military and law enforcement clothing – sorry, not available for the consumer market.

What makes the Polyster material effective is that it’s bonded to a conducted material that loops the electricity, and essentially sends the electricity back to the gun. The Thor Shield fabric comes in different thicknesses. The thinnest version is only about a thirty-second of an inch thick and can be sewn into clothes.
