In search of a cheap ultralight pad, I have come up with the idea of using a large Car Windsheild Sun Shade. It's very light, cheap, it has thermal heat reflective properties and doesn't make the loud krinkling noise like a space blanket. It can be rolled up, or folded into a fairly compact unit. I went to Wally World and picked up one for $8 that is 67" long. The sun shade advertizes 40% heat reflection, but haven't tried using it yet. Has Anyone elese tried this and if so how was it?
I'm going camping this weekend, and will keep everyone posted on how it goes. If it works well, I might even try cutting it into a mummy bag shape.
