Gong has announced a T-shirt preventing foil cuts.
They say it was 2 years in development.
They have also designed pants, but wait for consumer feedback to see if it is worth producing them.

Watch the "cucumber test":

Super cool! Definitely a great idea. I would also be in favour of the foil proof pants, something to protect the Crown Jewels.
A while back there was a startup company developing a shark bite proof wetsuit using Kevlar or some other bulletproof material in certain areas on the wetsuit. Would have been a great invention but I don't think they ever got it going properly.

From speedskating /shorttrack there has been cut resistant sportsgear for a couple of years. Pretty expensive.

Interested in how waterlogged it can get when wet? I've had this idea for a while now using uhmwpe fabric, good work gong!
