Abstract
A metalized composite material has an outer layer, a metalized layer and an insulation layer. The metalized layer has a surface coated with metallic material where the metallic surface faces away from the outer layer. Radiant heat from the skin of a wearer of a garment made with the metalized composite material is reflected back toward the skin surface of the wearer tending to keep the wearer warm in cold environments. The metalized composite material can be used to make garments and various types of articles of clothing and accessory applications for protection from cold and wet weather.
