Hey ladies: If you're searching for a look that screams "don't even think about putting your grubby hands on me", get a load of the No-Contact jacket. While the $950 waterproof nylon parka looks sort of dowdy from the outset, the attire is positively electric. And by that, I mean it delivers 80,000 volts of juice to anyone who tries to touch you. If you get groped, all you have to do is turn a key in the sleeve, and watch your harasser throw his hands in the air (at least according to the instructional diagram below.) Of course, the jacket comes with a rubberized lining to prevent any shocks to your own system, and in some states might even require a license to own! Still, it beats hunting through a purse for the mace. Read more here at Wired.
