This Sleeping Bag Can Keep You Warm in -40°F
Biigloo recently launched an Aerogel Sleeping Bag enriched with Nasa-ready insulation. Historically, NASA started using aerogel to insulate blankets and spacesuits for astronauts in the ‘90s. Now, Biigloo is using the material to create a four pound mummy-shaped, wind and waterproof sleeping bag. Designed for use at high altitudes and in extreme conditions, the ventilated sleeping bag also harnesses ultra-fine nylon for abrasion resistance, plus biodegradable DuPont SORONA bio-fleece in its sleeping bag filters for added warmth.
