There comes a time in everyone's life when the body starts to complain real bad.........We complain because it gets hot. You complain because it gets cold.

I would rather have heat than cold. I have yet have heat make me hurt. I have been in temps down too -160F with wind chill. No matter how many layers I put on, it did not help. It went right through what ever I had on. It hurt! Then y'all have that white crap that falls all over the place. It must be cleaned up, constantly. That is back breaking work, that hurts! Too each his own! I will stick to this heat down South.
That barrier material works great. I used a small section on a buddies RZR. The heat from the motor was pushing through the plastic fairings behind his seats. I removed the plastic fairings and wedged in some barrier material. It helped greatly. We both figured the heat would melt it away. It is still there and been there over a year.

Nice sig FT.
And as much as I hate it I'll take the heat over the cold too. Why can't it just be 75-80* all the time!!??

I'll take the cold(not-160) as I can always add a layer. I never intend on living near or on the arctic circle. I think that in 10 years my opinion could change. Shoveling roofs and snowblowing won't be possible in 10ish years for me. I figure Tenn., Virginia, or the Carolinas is in my future.

I bought these several years ago. They have held up really well and work really well. They fit perfect unlike the universal cheap onea.

Thats exactly what I did. Looks like same material too. Didn't see a price though or a fit for our trucks?
OK see it now http://store.ceebaileys.com/product-p/cs auto shades992.htm
I know I can do it/sell it for a lot less. And yes it really does work great.

Yeah. I like them a lot. Especially the side window ones. Just kind of push in there and stay.

Im on a radiant barrier kick right now thinking of new ways to use it. I stuck some in my hat and that works good. If I could find more of a fabric type I think you could line your clothing with it.

I used it around my accumulator and anywhere needed on my AC system. I used aluminum duct tape to hold it in place.

So in oil and fuel industries we deal with 4 digit temps. Insulation isn't a nice thing, it's mandatory. 1 company is head and shoulders above the world.

Look at some of this stuff. You can get blankets 1" thick that will stop all the heat your truck can put out, or take in.

Looks like high dollar stuff?

Yeah, guess I didn't think of that as too bad because 1" of that stuff does what takes 18"'of the cheap stuff. Also doesn't hurt that I don't sign the check for those p.o.'s

Isn't some of their product used for wrapping marine exhaust?

I'm not sure. I have no knowledge of boating. I would imagine, as they lead the world in insulation. I would think marine exhaust wouldn't be ok hard to tackle after some of the industrial solutions they have come up with.
