From http://www.no-contact.com/:
"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 opportunity for escape."
The jacket is actually quite attractive. I tried to copy a picture here, but it's a flash thingy and I don't know how to do that.
I wonder if it's legal where tasers are not. Matching pants could cut down on kamakazi ankle attacks from young cats (cut it out, Jasper!). I wonder if they make pyjamas?
