Only $695 More about graphene in case you haven't kept up with the newest miracle substances. Rumi <~~~~~~~waiting for the price to drop

That is an outdoor gear company I had never heard of. But even their non-graphine shirts range in price from $290 - $345.

I'm going to hold off on this one until I see the review from Critter. Maybe I'm being a bit fussy, but for $695.00 I think they could do better than 370 grams (13.0514 ounces), and there's no mention of any provision for securing the pockets closed. The hood is a deal-killer. Gotta lose the hood. down.gif

Sooooo....is that jacket just one big lightning "rod", or would it act as a Faraday cage somehow

Guess it's the last jacket you will ever need to buy - any punctures can repaired by dousing yourself in gasoline.

Graphene makes LiPo chemistry batteries really sweet, but this jacket for this money looks like a status signal.

And if the cost stresses you out they have a "portable sensory isolation tank" hoodie for chilling out.
