The L.L. Bean Ultralight Sleeping Bag has been designed to offer maximum comfort for campers when spending extended periods outside thanks to a design that's NASA-approved.
Crafted with PrimaLoft Gold Aerogel, the sleeping bag will provide enhanced warmth thanks to the lofted nature of the material. Aerogel was first invented by NASA and works to provide exceptional lightweight insulation, which makes it ideal for use in gear for the outdoors.
The L.L. Bean Ultralight Sleeping Bag comes as the first of what is said to be several new product announcements as part of the partnership between PrimaLoft and L.L. Bean. This will include jackets and coats that made use of the material to keep avid outdoor enthusiasts feeling as agile as possible without sacrificing comfort.
