WEll, any metal sheilding you have /will/ block RF..but..

All it's going to do is act as an antenna for the RF. Basically, making you an RF magnet.

Now, if the suit was GROUNDED, it'd work awesome.

Just don't use an HT when you have it on :)

Research links RF radiation with behavioral and cellular disturbances.
I guess this explains why I've been running red lights, changing lanes without signaling and turning into traffic without looking.

And all this time I thought it was just me.

I wish I could think up a scam like this and get rich quick. And you KNOW plenty of folks are buying this stuff. I can see the glitterati of 5th Ave or Park Ave all calling each other: "oh Dahlink, you simply MUST buy this new underwear. It will keep you safe while that lawsuit against Con Ed goes forward. To think, they'd actually put that dangerous electric in MY house! I'm just glad I don't have to use candles. Oh dahlink, do you like my new cell phone? Isn't it simply mahvelous?"

Yep, uh huh . . .

You know, I would just LOVE to see what would happen to a person wearing that stuff in a thunderstorm on a open feild. It's bad enough lightning likes the tallest object for attaining ground, but i don't think the conductivity of those undergarments will be very condusive to a long life.
I smell chestnuts roasting over a open fire....

Hmm. I wonder if those RF resistant boxers really work?

I might want to protect my "chestnuts."

I like that you can buy the raw cloth so you can custom make your own bedsheets, curtains, etc. For those that have RF-aphobia.

Well, if you wanted to be uber-cool...

sew some of the material on your back or arm or leg or whatever in the shape of a UHF or VHF J-Pole, and hook up some coax, and hook it to your handheld, and..whala, a wearable antenna.....

Well, I personally like the "No cellphones" sign - I can put it up next to my "No Whiners" and my "No Bulls**t" signs in my office!

Maybe that would keep the morons away.
