it could be aerogel, wich might do it, but I don't think its flexible...

From their website:

One of the fastest-growing brands at Hanesbrands, Champion offers high-performance T-shirts, tanks, shorts, sports bras, pants, hooded sweatshirts, team uniforms, socks, underwear and accessories.


Cause that's who I want to trust when I'm at 29,000ft. The same guys who made my little league uniforms.

Not that we'll get the truth but, I'll be interested to see how this turns out for em.

I'll wait and see WHO is going up Everest and if they survive.

I think this 'SuperSuit' would be a great way to cull off the Everest 'mountaineers'. If they can't smell the BS from a mile and actually try to go up Everest in this, then...

Here is what they say on their website:

The Champion Supersuit is the first commercially viable application of Element 21’s Zeroloft Aspen Aerogels, which allow the Supersuit to be so thin. Zeroloft insulation has four times the thermal insulation of goose down because the transparent solid gel is made up of nano-sized multisided spheres that have so much surface area that air movement is restricted, which reduces conduction and prevents heat loss.

So it sounds like a form of Aerogel, but what is a "multisided sphere"?

Likely a spherical polygon. Nanoparticles contain sufficiently small numbers of atoms, that no construct of this size can truly be considered "spherical." Think Buckyballs.

don't knock it 'til you try it...

wait...

I just saw a pic... go ahead and knock it.

It will never work.



It needs a huge TNF logo on it. That would do the trick. Too bad there's no space.
