A company by the name of XeroGear, based in the state of Delaware, has gone ahead and released an incredibly high-tech, easy-to-use and revolutionary new emergency vest that is designed to make it easier than ever for people who find themselves in emergency situations to stay safe for as long as possible.

What's great about the XeroVest emergency vest is the fact that it is capable of protecting you from the cold by virtue of its ability to be popped out and blown into shape using the special valve. This allows for a high degree of insulation for your core, which is important if you're in the wilderness and it's cold out.

This particular emergency vest is fitted with a double layer nylon construction for added protection. With its uniquely comfortable fit and [light weight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spanx-airessentials1), this emergency vest is perfect for a wide variety of wilderness situations.
