Good morning, all!

I'm an experienced hiker/camper, but relatively new to lightweight camping, and I'm interested in making some of my own gear.

Recently, I bought a Hennessy Hammock, which I'd like to adapt a bit for cold weather. I know they sell a lot of "add ons" for cold weather camping, but this might be a good place for me to start my experimentation.

To start, I was looking for a thermally reflective but breathable layer. I found a fabric called "Insul-Bright" that is polyester (good wicking characteristics?) needle-punched through a mylar space-blanket.

Does anyone have any experience working with this material? I've emailed the manufacturer for specifications, but have received no reply.

Thanks in advance for any info! I think this will be a fun adventure!
