My next wetsuit needs to be made of this!

A 3,000°F blowtorch under a thin slice of Aerogel
has no effect on the crayons on top.

there's lots of cool stuff on their site

forget a wet suit what about a dry suit with this stuff integrated into the under garments. it might cut back on the weight you would have to ware because it you take up less space under the suit.

"...ideal for absorbing pollutants in water." I guess this is a good thing, but it is not exactly what I want in my wetsuit.

Yes, that's the case.

 

[Noob@40]

I'll buy one. Will they tint my "smoke" neon green?

 

[do it easy]

I'm still skeptical- I would like to see some Aerogel go head to head with a soy bean

They're making it for the US Navy. Started in 2005.

not a wetsuit ... "undergarment" used "inside commercial dry suits"


I like how when Aerogel was incorporated into designer winter coats, they were too warm and didn't sell

Wow this is cool, I would love a set of undergarments made out of this stuff, as a matter of fact throw a set of snowboarding gear on the tab as well.

I would love to see the girl in the KISS RB add in a dive skin made out of this as well
