    Hello.

    I decided to research a bit before any comments.
    First, depending on the pacemaker, there may be no problem with RFI whatsoever.
    http://www.rochestermedicalcenter.co...pacemakers.htm
    The New and Improved current generation of pacemaker is much smaller than in the past and in one piece.
    But if there is concern, the very same garments produced to provide TASER and Stun Gun protection provide RF shielding.
    Conductive fabric is easy to find now and adding a liner to your garments is easy for that do it yourself bunch.

    Wow, a do-it-yourself wearable Faraday Cage. You just couldn't get more nerdy than that.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hello.

    If done correctly it does not look nerdy at all.
    The entire goal is to look as normal as any other garment you may have.
    To this end there are conductive underwear as well as other means of providing the conductive path.
    Denim clothing, something that has little geek appeal, works very well as the liner can be quite thin.

    We're here for you, Kelli.

    I meant that to be comforting, of course.
