More marketing silliness for the uninitiated.

and



For some reason the NASA tag always seems to make it into the marketing for this type of product giving the product some sort of apparent amazing high technology discovery in fabric materials technology.

The 'Aerovest' (again even the name seems like aerospace high tech) looks like a vest version of the products produced by Blizzard Survival.

I suspect it will have the same advantages and disadvantages as the blizzard bag recently tested on the forum.

At $13.00 it is priced competitively and could be useful in an emergency, but why not just get a down vest or jacket instead. A down vest/jacket will be more comfortable, warmer and have a long life and will pack down further than this product after it has been initially deployed.

I guess the downy a**e feathers from a eider duck just don’t have that ‘NASA’ high tech image.

At least the Aerovest is Orange so you don't look like a foil rapped turkey ready for the oven whilst wearing one.
