Does Reflect-Tex work? Help!

[Bernard Shaw]

Hi BPL'ers. TG offers products with Reflect-Tex fabric. They feel it is factually helpufl What might you all know or think about this?

Their statement:

We are very excited about Reflect-Tex, this 1.1oz base fabric has a silicone-uerathane coating applied to it,
with thermal/solar reflective properties. This fabric has the same weight and characteristics of sil-nylon, with
added heat and light reflectance

Who is TG? edit: ah..Titanium goat.. Their 'Crazy Diamond' tent won't keep out the snake on that product page.. ironic. ;)

Is TG Titanium Goat? I think I remember that blurb from their website.

'TG' IS Titanium Goat, and they are making new gear from the Reflectix material. My understanding is that this fabric is useful in areas of high Sun, and or use in tarps in front of campfires to reflect heat; with the usual caveats of fire and fabric.

I have'nt heard from them since they were moving into their new building and putting a more solid roof on the place. I was exchanging emails with them about this fabric; and some suggestions for new shelter types that might benefit from being contructed with this fabric.

I made a tarp and 2 emergency bivy/ VB bags out of it. Along with the aforementioned purposes, I would add using it for space blanket purposes- VB bag booster, emergency shelter, etc. It has a lot of durability to offer vs. space blankets.
