Westuit breakthough at MIT

TLDR version: Stuff closed-cell neoprene in a Xenon-filled tank overnight. For the next 20 hours it has roughly 3 times the insulation.

 

They don't discuss whether they are working on trapping Xenon "permanently," but that seems pretty plausible to me with the right material to contain it. 20 hours of dramatically improved wetsuit performance is super-cool, but years would be even better!

 

Maybe I won't be forced to move to the equator to keep skiing as I get older!

@Than_Bogan -actually, they do discus finding ways to seal the inert gas into the neoprene foam in future progressions of the idea - 5th paragraph from the bottom.

 

That said, i think the best improvement Camaro could make to their full body suit would be to incorporate some kind of ' cod piece ' technology that would reduce the uncomfortable tendency it has of turning an outie into an innie in the nether regions -if yo know what i mean... and i think you do.
