Infrared-reflecting covering material
First Claim
1. An infrared-reflecting material (10) for covering objects, comprising a) at least one metallized water-vapor-permeable ply (20) having a top surface (22) and a bottom surface (24) and having b) at least one ply (30) that is air permeable, drapable and convective and has a three-dimensionally transmissive structure, wherein the convective ply (30) is disposed on one or more of the surfaces (22, 24) of the metallized ply (20).

Abstract
An invention describes a drapable IR-reflecting material for garments. The IR-reflecting material comprises a water-vapor-permeable metallized ply supporting an air-permeable drapable convective ply having a three-dimensionally transmissive structure. The outer surface of the convective ply, said outer surface being opposite to the metallized ply, is formed by an air-permeable sheetlike structure. The convective ply causes heat convection of temperatures reflected by the metallized ply in order that the outer surface of the convective ply may be brought into line with the ambient temperature.
