[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1272913, member: 54178"] RockyMT, A sleeping bag reflects back very little of your body heat. Instead the insulation TRAPS warmed air (and body moisture) and slows the transfer of heat outward. A sleeping bag will have a scientifically tested R Value (thermal insulating value, just like home insulation). Wearing more clothing, especially insulating clothing like fleece, synthetic fiber insulation, down insulation or even plain street clothes will add warmth to any sleeping bag or sleeping quilt. Tha best location for a reflector of body heat ("space blanket", mylar sheet, etc.) is under your mattress, where it keeps you warmer even though the insulation beneath you is compressed by body weight.
