Klymit Ulaar Jacket with hand-pumped air chamber?

Klymit Ulaar Jacket


http://www.klymit.com/index.php/products-1/kinetic-vest/ulaar-jacket-6.html



I always like the idea about a vest/jacket that is suitable for different temperature ranges, and am always on a look-out for such products.

This Klymit Ulaar Jacket looks kinda interesting, it could be inflated or deflated by a hand pump.  And from the video, the gas-chamber looks to be durable.  So what do you guys think?  This or maybe some heating-wired NorthFace vest?  Or something else?

Yes, it is kind of tricky.  At 300US, it is asking a lot for just light vest/jacket.  And I just don't know how much of a difference will it make when inflated/deflated.  Also, some folks have raised the question whether it is breathable, which is a great deal if it does get warm and too much moisture accumulated inside. :think:

I believe the idea is similar to what is known about Mickey Mouse boots. Air is an insulator so add more air means more heat retaining factor. Interesting factoid! Your body don't get heated by jackets or clothes. They only retain what the body makes ;)
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?
