I was browsing over at the Rubicon Foundation and came across this. You have to register to be able to down the actual NEDU report.

The Navy testing looks pretty thorough compared to most recreational reviews. You certainly wouldn’t get John Bantin sitting in a tank of 2°C water for 147 minutes with a thermometer up his ass!

I understand this was also mentioned at the DUI presentation at last year’s GUE conference (though I wasn’t there). Looks very promising, though I found something somewhere else that suggested that if the Aerogel suit went into production now it would be about 10 times as expensive as C4 thinsulate!
