UC-Designed Sleeping Bag that Reflects Body Heat

Caption

UC's Alex Corbin tries out a UC-designed, super-thin sleeping bag -- weighing less than two pounds -- and designed to increase thermal conductivity (ability to hold heat) as necessary. Said one team member: "The concept for the sleeping bag is similar to the 'to go' pizza carrier or heat-resistant mylar oven mitts, now produced in the form of a sleeping bag that can roll up much smaller and thinner than a traditional bed roll."
