Their latest apparel? A silver-infused jacket that blocks most electromagnetic radiation.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a mere fashion flex, this jacket\u2019s origins are rooted in hard science. The same type of shielding once used to protect NASA\u2019s Mars Rover from terrestrial electromagnetic noise is now reimagined for the city streets. Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Bomber borrows its technology from a laboratory in Bremen, Germany \u2013 a place better known for armoring satellites and hiding them from thermal cameras than for designing streetwear. The outer shell is no marketing gimmick: it\u2019s nylon that\u2019s been meticulously \u201cgrown\u201d through with pure silver, making up nearly a fifth of the entire material by mass. But why, you ask? Let me explain.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a href=\"https:\/\/vollebak.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vollebak<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_2.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So what does that actually mean for the wearer? For a start, the jacket can block radio and microwave frequencies ranging from 0.2 GHz to 14 GHz. That covers everything from your standard WiFi and Bluetooth to certain satellite and radar signals. There\u2019s even a dedicated phone pocket, engineered as a wearable Faraday cage, that can render your device invisible to the outside world \u2013 no calls, no tracking, no hacking, no matter if the phone is switched on or off. It\u2019s a level of privacy that feels almost subversive in today\u2019s hyper-connected landscape. Perfect for people who want to go off the grid while living in it. Boeing whistleblowers, add this to cart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_3.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_4.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But the science doesn\u2019t stop at signal blocking. Silver, aside from being an exceptional electrical conductor, is also naturally antimicrobial. That means this jacket isn\u2019t just about digital security; it\u2019s also about hygiene. The silver ions embedded in the fabric are constantly on patrol, punching holes in bacterial cell membranes and neutralizing threats before they can multiply. Given how we\u2019ve all become a little more germ-conscious, this is a subtle but very real benefit that\u2019s baked right into the jacket\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_5.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, all this technical bravado would mean little if the jacket didn\u2019t also deliver on aesthetics. Vollebak has modeled the Shielding Bomber after the iconic MA-1 flight jacket \u2013 the sort of gear worn by jet-age pilots when cockpits got tighter and the need for maneuverability became paramount. The result is outerwear that feels both futuristic and classic: cropped, unfussy, and practical, but with a quiet confidence that comes from knowing you\u2019re wrapped in something extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_6.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569099\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_7.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So, why would anyone need a NASA-grade Faraday cage built into their clothing? The answer is partly about today\u2019s threats \u2013 cybersecurity, location tracking, electromagnetic smog \u2013 but it\u2019s also about tomorrow\u2019s unknowns. As our lives become ever more entangled with wireless tech, and as concerns around privacy, health, and even space travel grow, Vollebak\u2019s vision feels more like a form of practical foresight. Sort of like storing your crypto on a hardware wallet, or changing your passwords every 2-3 months out of an abundance of caution.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-569100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/30\/vollebaks-electromagnetic-shielding-jacket-creates-a-nasa-grade-faraday-cage-around-you-and-your-gadgets\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Vollebak\u2019s Electromagnetic Shielding Jacket creates a NASA-grade Faraday cage around you and your gadgets\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vollebak_electromagnetic_shielding_bomber_jacket_8.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And while you might not be planning to test satellite hardware in a sealed NASA tent or jet off to Mars, there\u2019s something compelling about having that level of protection at your fingertips \u2013 or, more accurately, on your shoulders. At \u00a32,495 ($3,295), this isn\u2019t impulse-buy territory. Whether you need it depends entirely on how you feel about being constantly connected, potentially tracked, and electromagnetically exposed. For some, it might seem paranoid; for others, it\u2019s simply prudent. Either way, Vollebak has once again created something that makes us question the boundaries between clothing, technology, and personal security. And in 2025, that\u2019s a conversation worth having.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cBut why?!\u201d is a question I often find myself asking Vollebak when they create some of their oddly&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3845],"tags":[74,70,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-306235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-physics","8":"tag-physics","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114947135342290531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
