Do you have more information on this? What would be the range of cost on
this product? I was thinking of using a type of aircraft insulation which is
insulation baffled inbetween fabric like a quilt. Yet the fabric and
isulation used is somewhat exotic as far as price and performance comepared
to the needs that I face. If it is more economical and performs well this
may be a good solution. Now for a heater :)

The stuff they use in Europe is more sophisticated than the foil/bubble
insulation.

I have samples of it, and it has 7 or more layers.  Insulation kits are
available that line your poptop canvas and attach with snaps or velcro.

I have several sets on order from Germany, but may not have them until next
month.
