Product details
Kids' Faraday Hoodie Made With FlexiBloc Fabric
This plain hoodie for children is made from FlexiBloc, a soft, stretchy knitted fabric made with 44% silver fiber, paired with organic cotton jersey. It comes in six colors and in sizes for ages 3 to 12, with a size chart in the Specifications tab. It is the same fabric as our men's and women's hoodies. Browse our full range of EMF clothing, including the FlexiBloc Faraday Snood, whose small size is suitable for young children.
Shielding Performance
The hoodie gets its shielding from the FlexiBloc fabric, which provides about 38 dB from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, around 36 dB at 915 MHz, about 33 dB at 2.45 GHz (2.4 GHz WiFi) and 32 dB at 5 GHz (5 GHz WiFi), falling to about 27 dB at 10 GHz. These are the values for a single layer of the fabric. Decibels are a logarithmic scale: every 10 dB is a tenfold reduction in signal power, so 30 dB means 99.9% of the signal power at that frequency is blocked. The hoodie shields the areas it covers: head, torso and arms. See the Specifications tab for the full table.
Fabric and Construction
- FlexiBloc fabric: 44% silver fiber, 35% cotton, 18% nylon and 3% spandex, with two-way stretch.
- Organic cotton layer: 95% cotton and 5% elastane, certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
Care and Washing
FlexiBloc fabric has been tested to withstand 40 washes before its shielding effectiveness is compromised. To look after the hoodie and keep the silver working at its best:
- Wash with distilled, mineral, well or cooled boiled water to avoid and remove mineral ions.
- Cool wash with as little agitation as possible.
- Use a clear, unscented, uncolored detergent with a neutral pH.
- Avoid oils, including essential oils, since they will damage the silver.
- No fabric softener.
- No bleaching.
- Do not tumble dry or place over heaters. Line dry only.
- Cool iron.

It is a plain hoodie for children made from FlexiBloc silver fiber fabric, which shields RF signals from cell phones, WiFi and other wireless devices. It comes in six colors and in sizes for ages 3 to 12.
The FlexiBloc fabric is 44% silver fiber, 35% cotton, 18% nylon and 3% spandex. The organic cotton layer is 95% cotton and 5% elastane, certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
The FlexiBloc fabric provides about 38 dB from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, around 36 dB at 915 MHz, about 33 dB at 2.4 GHz WiFi and 32 dB at 5 GHz WiFi, falling to about 27 dB at 10 GHz, for a single layer. Every 10 dB is a tenfold reduction in signal power.
The FlexiBloc fabric shields WiFi and cell frequencies, and the lower 5G bands, up to 10 GHz. It has not been tested above 10 GHz, so millimeter wave 5G is outside its tested range.
It shields the areas it covers: head, torso and arms. It does not cover the legs.
Sizes are by age: 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11 and 11-12. The size chart in the Specifications tab gives the chest girth and length of each size.
Compare the chest girth and length in the size chart in the Specifications tab with your child's measurements, or with a hoodie they already own and like. If you are between sizes, speak to an expert before you buy.
