Eggshell golfwear

I’d say this one is not very related to the topic of this blog. But, hey, what’s the topic of my blog anyway?

Japanese company Descente Ltd. is selling pants for golfers made from the water-absorbent membrane that lines the inside of chicken eggs. Each pair of the pants needs eight eggs to make.

The membrane, which is a protein, is turned into a powder, after which it is attached to polyester fiber. Fabric made with the polyester absorbs more water and humidity and dries more easily than regular polyester. It also helps eliminate static electricity.
