I wonder if that's actual elemental silver, or are they just coloured silver? I discover that "silver fibre" is fibre containing nano-particles of elemental silver (ie, not very much - is it enough to create a Faraday cage?), which is more usually incorporated in clothing for its anti-odour, anti-bacterial, etc, properties.

You can also get a scarf (£105) and gloves (£50). And a sleeve for your phone (£65) - does that mean you can experience your phone being switched off, without it being switched off?

And for ultimate protection, you can you can buy the Blueshield Premium Cube for just £839. It emits frequencies. These are very special frequencies that counteract the effects of all those external frequencies and electromagnetic fields that you don't want! Isn't that so clever?

Elsewhere, numerous other Faraday cage beanies containing silver fibre are sold at much more modest prices.

It would only be a Faraday cage if it was properly conductive and completely surrounded the head. I think. A beanie is more like a collector, like a satellite dish. Focussing all the “radiation” into the centre of the brain.

Particularly when the strongest source is quite likely in front of your face.

Surely then what is needed is a viking helmet with full face chainmail - and just small cutouts for eyes?
