Product details
Antiwave Organic Faraday Boxer Briefs for Men
These boxer briefs are made from New Antiwave, a right-left jacquard knit that combines combed organic cotton with silver-coated polyamide. The fabric is soft, antistatic, elastic and has very good tear resistance. It is opaque, in a light grey with a silver shimmer, and the organic cotton is from controlled organic cultivation (kbA). Browse our full range of EMF clothing, including the matching Antiwave T-shirt for men.
Shielding Performance
New Antiwave provides up to 20 dB of shielding at 470 to 690 MHz, 19 dB at 700 to 960 MHz (4G, 5G low band and GSM), 16 dB at 1800 to 1900 MHz, and 15 dB at 2110 to 2170 MHz, 2.4 GHz WiFi and the 3.4 to 3.7 GHz 5G mid-band, falling to 14 dB at 5 GHz WiFi. The values do not depend on the direction of the signal. Decibels are a logarithmic scale: every 10 dB is a tenfold reduction in signal power, so 20 dB means 99% of the signal power at that frequency is blocked. These are the values from the manufacturer's test report by the EMF Test Lab Bavaria, tested according to IEEE Std 299-2006. Shielding is much lower at 20 GHz and above, so millimeter wave 5G is not covered. See the Specifications tab for the full table.
Fabric
- Composition: 89% organic cotton, 9% polyamide and 2% silver.
- Silver: the polyamide fiber is coated all around with pure silver, not nano silver.
- Weight and thickness: about 4.3 oz per square yard (145 g/m²) and about 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) thick.
- Made in Germany.
Care and Washing
The fabric is made to retain its shielding through about 40 washes. Follow these care instructions:
- Wash gently, on a delicate or wool cycle at 30 or 40°C (86 or 104°F).
- Iron gently, at a low temperature (iron level 1).
- No bleach, and no detergents that contain bleach.
- Do not tumble dry.
- No dry cleaning.

These briefs are made in Germany in European sizes, which run smaller than US sizes. Each size is named both ways: for example, US Small (EU Medium). Choose the size you normally wear in US sizes, and check it against the measurements in the size chart in the Specifications tab. The label inside shows the EU size, so a US Small has a label that says Medium.
