There have been a couple of attempts over the years at using aerogel in high-end outerwear. Year ago, champion sent a mountaineer to the summit of everest wearing a full-body aerogel insulated suit. Two big problems: 1) Aerogel is very fragile and tends to crumble 2) It's almost too good an insulator #1 is a big issue for outerwear because any high end jacket used in mountaineering will see some sh*t. #2 is another big issue because you sweat and exert a lot of heat during intense exercise. The jacket design has to incorporate the material intelligently to allow venting. I'm curious to see how this oros jacket addresses these issues.
