Norton Partners With Betabrand To Create RFID Blocking Clothing

There has been a lot of concern as of late regarding thieves who are able to steal our information, like credit or bank card information, through its RFID chips which are typically found in such cards these days. Now there are some who have taken preventive measures by wrapping their cards in aluminum foil to prevent thieves from stealing your information, and there have also been wallets created to prevent such theft as well.

That being said, it looks like security software developer Norton wants in on the protection too. It seems that the company is not content with just protecting your computer, but now it looks like they want to protect your credit cards and passports as well through the creation of a pair of jeans that offers up RFID-blocking fabrics.

The jeans are actually manufactured by Betabrand but have been updated with RFID-blocking fabrics – one in the front and one in the back where people typically tend to place their wallets. However not content with just jeans, Betabrand is also looking for crowdfund a RFID-blocking jacket for those who are after a more formal look.

The jeans have already been funded and are expected to begin shipping to customers come February 2015. If you’d like to learn more or pledge your support for either the jeans (priced at $151.20) or blazer (or both), head on over to Betabrand’s website for the details.
