The latest offering from the British brand will appeal to conspiracy theorists and those who fear that the government is constantly monitoring them, reports DailyMail.

The clothing brand Vollebak has created a futuristic tracksuit made from pure silver, which blocks radio waves, ensuring that its wearer cannot be tracked or even called. Additionally, the unique material of the suit blocks electromagnetic radiation, infrared radiation, and even provides protection against bacteria.

"The protective suit features pockets for smartphones, making it impossible for you to be detected, even if your gadget is turned on," the description of the new product states.

Vollebak claims to produce "clothing from the future," and in the case of its protective tracksuit, it utilized technology that was used in the creation of the Curiosity Mars rover.

"We designed the jacket to be comfortable to wear anywhere, just like a regular windbreaker. The only difference is that you'll look like a person who just stepped off a spaceship," the company notes.

However, this futuristic outfit does not come cheap: the jacket and pants will cost around 207,000 hryvnias.

Vollebak has already gained fame for some eccentric garments, including an "apocalypse jacket" that protects against molten lava, as well as a "cocoon" suit for journeys to Mars. The brand even worked on an invisibility cloak inspired by Harry Potter.

"Before the Curiosity rover went to Mars, it had to be tested on Earth. Therefore, NASA created an electromagnetic shielding tent that blocked external electromagnetic radiation during testing. We took this technology and transformed it into our suit," the manufacturer's website states.

The outer part of the suit is coated with pure silver, which blocks radio and microwave frequencies ranging from 0.2 GHz to 10 GHz. This range includes Wi-Fi satellites, Bluetooth, and radar systems.

The suit also blocks infrared radiation, meaning its wearer will be invisible to infrared cameras. The pockets in the suit function like a "Faraday cage," blocking electromagnetic fields.

"You'll find such a pocket on the left chest and another one inside the right side pocket. These pockets are designed like a pillowcase that should completely cover your phone," the company adds.

As is well known, silver also possesses antibacterial properties, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.

In creating this wonder suit, the Vollebak brand sought assistance from the German laboratory Shieldex, which develops high-tech metallized fabrics for forensic science, medical textiles, aerospace, and Mars rovers.

As a reminder, conspiracy theorists have found their explanation for the bright auroras. Proponents of conspiracy theories on social media began spreading the claim that the unusually bright auroras, visible on various continents much farther south than usual, were caused by a University of Alaska program studying the ionosphere.
