Are your spidey senses tingling? This Spiderman-inspired tee shirt uses [motion sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsense) to let you know if danger is coming up behind you. Finally, there is apparel that's got your back!

The [proximity sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-sensors) clips onto the back of this sleek, geek-tastic tee. Ideal for super Spiderman fans and wannabe [super heroes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains), this black tee is more wearable than a full spidey suit. The Tingling Elecronic Spidey Sense Shirt will not be available until October 2013, but is great to keep in mind as a gift or for yourself. Not only will you be prepared for the upcoming second instalment of the Spiderman series featuring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, there's the added bonus of gaining a sick super power. You will definitely be thinking twice about giving someone the shirt off your back.
