For those interested, this seems to be the key material, Radiant Barrier, that was used in the construction of the suit.

You can read more over at Oath Keepers, where they cover some frequently asked questions and misconceptions about thermal technologies and drones, as well as the potential ethics questions that almost always come up when these sorts of topics are discussed. So if you feel the need to bemoan the release of this information to the public, then please, direct that nonsense their way.

    RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier (http://www.radiantguard.com) reflects 97% of the thermal radiant energy (lowest emissivity of 3% in the market) and is double-sided reflective radiant barrier. Make sure you use a breathable radiant barrier so you don’t trap moisture from your body and sweat. Breathable radiant barrier stills blocks the same amount of thermal radiation.

      Thanks for the info! I was thinking the breathable version for a suit, and the vapor barrier version for things like tarps and tents.

    I think k may buy some to use in my attic – like it was designed for. I think it would lower my heating and cooling costs. Then put the savings into a nice FLIR scope.
