Self-Protection Suits

The Micrashell by Production Club Supports Socialization Without Distancing

— April 28, 2020 — Lifestyle
The Micrashell by Los Angeles-based Production Club is a design that acknowledges the way people have socialized has changed due to an airborne virus and life will likely look a little different post-pandemic. While social distancing measures are currently in place to slow the spread of the disease, many people can't imagine when they'll be able to go to a bar, sporting event or concert as before. This self-protection suit concept is all about supporting safe socialization without the distancing.

According to Production Club, the patent-pending shielded suit was "specifically designed to satisfy the needs of nightlife, live events and entertainment industries." The disinfectable design consists of an airtight top suit and a hybrid soft and hard helmet.
