Canadian adventurer Jamie Clarke is putting the zeroloft aerogel material to the ultimate test by climbing part of Mount Everest in a thin jacket made by Champion that contains Zeroloft. The 0.15-inch-thick windbreaker is as warm as a goose down jacket 1.6 inches thick.


Aerogel blankets can be 33% thinner than fiberglass insulation for pipes.
