An apparel garment includes a polyimide aerogel or aerogel-infused insulator 12 directly bonded to at least a portion 10 of the garment. A method for bonding an aerogel to an insulator 12 for an apparel garment includes providing a polyimide aerogel component, which may be a powder or other form, and directly bonding the polyimide aerogel component to the apparel garment. The bonding may be through at least one of thermal, chemical (adhesive/solvent), hydrogen, and mechanical bonding.
