We use silver in majority of our products. Nickel is mostly applied in multilayer products such as ultimate outdoor jacket or blanket which is designed to withstand rough conditions. We also use renowned Swiss Shield® Max Wear and Antiwave fabric produced in Germany.

SILVER FABRIC

Silver fabric is made out of the silver fibre. It's soft, stretchy and comfortable to wear. It's commonly used for making the anti-radiation cloth, active wear or home textile. We incorporate it into our hats as a middle layer and some of our products (underwear or clothing) are entirely made out of the combination of silver and cotton fibres.

Why silver?

Silver has numerous health properties that have been used across time and culture. It is a powerful antimicrobial agent that aids in cold and flu prevention, wound healing, and skin care. Silver also helps with internal heat regulation and blood circulation. When applied in the right quantity and manner, silver also provides protection from electromagnetic radiation (EMF) emitted by devices like cell phones or wifi routers which are becoming a rising concern in the recent years.

Silver fibers bring positively charged silver ions that create a conductive field and reflects electromagnetic radiation away from the body, much like a mirror reflecting light. Silver also inhibits bacterial growth making it antimicrobial keeping you healthy, clean, and odor free.

- Antiradiation: Positively-charged silver ions create a conductive field that reflects electromagnetic radiation away from the body, much like a mirror reflects light. This field stimulates the body’s existing conductivity, improving blood circulation, temperature balance, and general healing.

- Antistatic: Due to the highly conductive silver and its antistatic character, it eliminates the static electricity caused by friction.

- Antiodor and Antimicrobial: Silver is a natural antimicrobial. That means that microbes - germs - can't survive in the presence of silver ions. Silver ions released from the surface of silver molecules are harmless for people, but absolutely lethal to menacing microbes.

 - All Natural and positive health effects: Silver also helps with internal heat regulation and blood circulation. Silver has a proven track record as a powerful antimicrobial agent fighting infections and aiding in cold and flu prevention, wound healing, and more.

NICKEL FABRIC

A silvery metal that resists corrosion even at high temperatures. Nickel has an outstanding shielding effectiveness that outperforms all other metals used in EMF proof fabrics.

Why nickel?

Nickel is a naturally-occurring metallic element with a silvery-white, shiny appearance. It is the fifth-most common element on earth and occurs extensively in the earth’s crust and core.

Nickel alloys and nickel-containing stainless steels are essential materials in a wide spectrum of medical instruments and devices. ... Nickel-containing stainless steel is also widely used in manufacturing medical devices, pharmaceuticals and vaccines, where the highest standards of hygiene and sterility are essential. 

The fabric and its performance:

Shielding Performance: 60~80 dB, 10MHz~40GHz and beyond

Surface Electric Resistance: <10 Ω/inch

Shielding Effectiveness: Blocks over 99% of electromagnetic frequencies indicated above.

 

ANTIWAVE - Anti radiation fabric

The fabric in a woven jacquard look consists of a combination of combed cotton and silver coated polyamide. The polyamide yarn is entirely coated with  pure silver instead of controversial nano silver. Metallic silver is absolutely harmless for human health and for our environment. Due to the innovative fabric construction features and the use of high quality materials, this fabric has a shielding attenuation of up to 99% in the frequency range of 20 MHz to 10 GHz. This is confirmed by an expert opinion by Prof. Pauli from the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich.

The fabric and its performance:

Attenuation: max. 26 dB (> 99 %)

Certification and more specifics here.

• For protecting high-frequency electromagnetic waves
• 100% textile properties
• Skin-friendly, wash-resistant and free from nanotechnology.

Swiss Shield® Max Wear

The fabric provides exceptional protection from electromagnetic radiation, specifically against radiofrequency (RF) signals from sources like Wi-Fi, mobile phones, and other wireless devices. It typically offers shielding effectiveness in the range of 30 dB to 60 dB, meaning it can reduce exposure by up to 99.99%, depending on the frequency.

It’s a preferred choice for individuals with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) or for those seeking to reduce exposure to RF radiation in their living or working environments.

- Durability: The "Max Wear" variant is designed for durability and ruggedness, which makes it suitable for repeated use and heavy-duty applications. This makes it ideal for situations where the fabric might experience wear and tear, such as in clothing or outdoor setups.

- Breathability and Comfort: Despite its metallic composition for shielding, Swiss Shield® Max Wear maintains a level of softness and breathability. This is important for its use in everyday clothing or home textiles, ensuring comfort without compromising on protective properties.

- Versatility: Swiss Shield® Max Wear can be used in various applications, from clothing to curtains and bed canopies. Its versatile design allows it to be tailored or sewn into a wide range of products, giving users flexibility in how they shield themselves from EMFs.

- Non-Conductive: Unlike some other shielding fabrics that might be conductive, Swiss Shield® Max Wear is designed to be non-conductive. This helps prevent unintended electrical interactions, making it safer and easier to use in different environments.

- Environmental and Skin Safety: The fabric is free from harmful chemicals and does not irritate the skin, which is crucial for those who want to wear it for extended periods. It's also designed to withstand repeated washing without losing its shielding properties.
