Claim 23:
24. A method for manufacturing a thermally-insulated garment, the method comprising:
forming two or more chambers between a first textile layer of material and a second textile layer of material, wherein the first textile layer of material comprises a first inner face and a first outer face and the second textile layer of material comprises a second inner face and a second outer face, wherein the two or more chambers are formed by forming one or more seams to affix the first textile layer of material to the second textile layer of material; and
filling each of the two or more chambers with a thermal layer comprised of a thermally-insulating fill material and a plurality of discrete crimped thermally-reflective polymer strands derived from a metalized molded polymer resin film, wherein the each discrete crimped thermally-reflective strand further comprises one or more of stitching, flocking, and protrusions, and wherein the plurality of discrete crimped thermally-reflective polymer strands are inter-woven or inter-knit into a sheet of the there al laver.
