Silic Shirt - Never Get Wet !!


How it feels when you go well dressed for a party and before you reach there unluckily something spills on your T-shirt !! The whole mood is spoiled and so is the T-Shirt, but no longer. A young entrepreneur Aamir Patel has developed the Silic Shirt which is made from a hydrophobic fabric that repels liquids away from it like a force field.

The shirt is no different than others; it is a simple form-fitting Tee that you’d find in any clothing store. The shirt’s soft polyster fabric is layered with microscopic silica particles that bond to the fibres and create a tiny barrier of air around it preventing any liquid to stain it. One more advantage of this shirt is that since the material is anti-microbial so it doesn't need to be washed as often. Patel and his collaborators recently launched a Kickstarter campaign that cleared its $20,000 funding goal in less than a day and has raised more than quadruple that amount at the time of writing. The inventor says that the fabric used in the Silic shirt is expensive, which is why just one shirt will cost around US$48. Anyone who pre-orders will have a choice between black and white colors along with S, M, L, XL, and XXL sizes. If all goes as planned, the first batch of shirts will be shipped out in May 2014.

So if you are clumsy, constantly falling food over yourself or are just lazy to wash clothes this is the perfect choice as it seems that the person’s body would retain more water than the Silic Shirt !!
