1. An insulated hose assembly for delivery of a cryogenic liquid from a storage unit, said assembly comprising a nozzle, a flexible hose connected at one end to the nozzle and at the other end to the storage unit, and a insulating member covering the outside surface of the hose, whereby the cryogenic liquid can be delivered from the storage unit through the hose and nozzle, wherein the insulating member is formed from at least two wraps of a flexible sheet material having (1) a first thermoplastic layer having gas-filled cells formed in one planar surface and a relatively smooth surface as the second and opposite planar surface, (2) a second metallized thermoplastic layer, and (3) a bonding layer interdisposed between and directly contacting both the relatively smooth surface of the first layer and the second layer for bonding the first and second layers to each other, whereby the hose is wrapped with the flexible sheet material such that, for each wrap, the gas-filled cell surface of the first layer is located in closer proximity to the hose than the second layer bonded to that first layer.
