Biigloo AEROGEL Kickstarter Review - The MOST ADVANCED Sleeping Bag I've Ever Used?

#aerogel #sleepingbag #review
In this video I'm reviewing the new arrival on ‪@kickstarter‬ the ‪@biigloo‬ Aerogel sleeping bag!
I bring it into the garden for a quick negative 8 celcius test and out for an overnight trip where it dropped to negative 5 and give you my opinions on this bag, it's size, practically and feedback after the night out.

Good review primal , being yellow on the inside makes it good to see any insects or bugs in your bag.

[@PrimalNomad]

Very true! Or as a signal for emergencies too. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@dannygawley]

That bag looks quality mate.even without a bed mat you were toasty. That's outstanding.great review buddy

[@PrimalNomad]

It sure seems it for now mate! I'll keep on testing it as and when I can but for first impressions I'm liking it! Thanks for watching mate

[@ChiefScout_Outdoors]

Shame it’s Way beyond the ordinary man’s budget. Bit on the huge size too 😊 All the best Johnny 😊👊🔥

[@PrimalNomad]

Yes it's definitely a bit on the big side haha! I think with the Kickstarter price it's not too bad but the materials are great quality so I guess it's justified in that way. Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@cristibaluta]

Lol, 200$ is cheap for a good sleeping bag, the problem is this looks cheap.

[@andrewfrank5602]

With 10000 hydrostatic head. I don't think you need to sleep underneath a tarp. But you're wise to because the zip is not waterproof.🤫

[@PrimalNomad]

Absolutely! Luckily they never stated it was a waterproof zip so I'd never assume it was 🤙 I do think they've updated the design to have a zip cover too now so that might solve that issue. Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏

[@j.radventures6654]

Nice look at the bag bro looks really good 👍

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks mate! It's insane, I wouldn't have normally chose a bag like this but I'm pleasant surprised for now! Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@ArielleViking]

Nice sleeping bag review, nice to see it worked well. 👍

[@PrimalNomad]

It did, I had fun testing it. Thanks for watching, 🙏

[@SteveSeadog]

Although you never tested it (others have) it's worth noting that the zip is not waterproof, so you will definitely need a bivvy bag or tarp if you'll be camping in the rain. Good to know that it's great for sub-zero temperatures

[@PrimalNomad]

Absolutely! I do believe that the Kickstarter release now has a full cover for the zip that reduces the amount of water ingress. I really appreciate you watching.

[@nomadsurvival4952]

good to see some new insulating materials coming out for sleeping bags hopefully more outfits will start using this or use other new insulation materials. to me it looks to bulky for my needs and I would have to do without some of my gear to get it in my pack but I have to say I like the temp rating per weight as it can get -40c here And yes I have heard of aerogel years and years ago...

[@PrimalNomad]

I can appreciate the size concern and agree that its probably a bit big for most camps but when needed I'd say its worth having vs some other gear :) Im also so happy to see a company pioneering a new bit of technology that might well be the answer to alot of outdoor issues. The first of anything is always going to be the worst too and for first attempts this isn't bad at all. Appreciate you watching!

[@nomadsurvival4952]

@@PrimalNomad I would like to see if it lofts up after time being in the compression sack for months or will it lose its insulating power after many uses and will it brake down over time from heavy use? I looked at the site and was wondering would it be a better solution if they got ride of the Dupont Sorona bio fleece and upped the aerogel to 2mm would it make it lighter and less bulky?

[@PrimalNomad]

@@nomadsurvival4952 I'll make sure to do some long term reviews and ask the team at biigloo what the difference may be with the upgraded mm and less fill. It's a great question!

[@paulliddle8008]

Fantastic looking bag and review Liam. Really innovative way of bringing space age tech to the camping community too. Cheers Liam.

[@PrimalNomad]

Definitely! I was pretty impressed with it and who knows where it will lead to in the future. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

I had the quilt sent it's great but not ideal for backpackers but the sleeping bag looks great wish I got that sent now great video by the way atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@PrimalNomad]

Ah no! I think I'd prefer the quilt for overlanding too tbh! Swaps? Haha thanks for watching buddy!!

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

@@PrimalNomad 🤣🤣 my wife would kill me if I swap she loves it I've requested a sleeping bag from them so I'll just have to wait your video is the best one I've seen 😎😎👍👍

[@williambryant7460]

what kind of knife are you carrying in this video?

[@PrimalNomad]

It's a custom made one by @dutchmanknivesuk on instagram :) - thanks for watching

[@jariperho]

The actual comfort rating of this bag is -15C/5F. That's a far cry from -40. The Kickstarter page compared this bag to other down filled bags with a COMFORT rating of -40. Talk about misleading marketing.

[@PrimalNomad]

That's a fair point. I know the extreme value is - 50c but unfortunately I haven't been able to test it lower than around - 12c as of yet. Its been extremely warm when I have used it but cannot comment on the lower degrees. Thanks for watching!

[@ruthd7274]

Yep. It was a Kickstarter scam in the end.

[@PrimalNomad]

That's indeed a great shame for a product with such potential. I'll amend the video description to explain this. Thanks!

[@ruthd7274]

​@PrimalNomad perhaps 'scam' is too harsh. The funds were certainly mismanaged and there is no product. A real shame, as you said.

[@tourcheverybridge]

How long long before someone has a whinge … you sold out … blantant add…your being paid to say it..Liam you know its coming from some one 😂😂😂😂😂

[@PrimalNomad]

Literally! I was just grateful to test the bag, see what it was all about and share it with you all 🙏 it's not every day you come across some NASA tech hehe! Thanks for watching mate 🤙

[@tourcheverybridge]

@@PrimalNomad Ironically I am watching your video in a sleeping bag under a quilt in my bed just cant get warm for love nor money… blood so thin due to my meds.

[@PrimalNomad]

@@tourcheverybridge ah dude, I hope you're all okay. I'm happy to give you the bag to test and see if it helps!

[@tourcheverybridge]

@@PrimalNomad Bless you my friend, I getting there as got my Krazy Doggos snuggled next to me in a furry hot water bottle type set up. 🐶

[@stevenperrin6010]

It’s a load of bollocks, the zip leaks with minimum water on it

[@PrimalNomad]

I don't think the zip is meant to be waterproof and if it is I doubt it would be very good if at all as its quite a chunky one with no seal 👍

[@freddyoutdoors]

Does look a good sleeping bag seen it in @mrwildwales looks really good like the blanket too if you've not seen that go over to Mr wild Wales one cheers dude

[@PrimalNomad]

I definitely will dude as did want to see that! 🙏Thanks for watching mate
