The present invention provides a textured non-woven insulating laminate lining material which is light weight. The material has a layer of flexible plastic material, on one side upon which is placed a thin layer of thermally reflective metal. Fiber wadding is placed on the side remote from the metal reflective layer, with fibers extending from the wadding through the plastic and reflective layer to form a light nap on the side of the reflective layer, to not only give the material the desirable characteristics of touch and absorbancy normally associated with fine fabric lining and enhance the insulating properties of the material, but also act as a wick, picking up moisture, e.g. perspiration, and transmitting it through the laminate to the fiber, away from the body. The nap is of sufficient weight to permit adequate wicking while permitting exposure of the reflective metallic material. Additionally, the needle punching of the individual fibers through the plastic and metal layer helps secure the wadding to the back of the plastic and ties in the layer of thin metal to the plastic substrate. The layer of metal can additionally be secured to the base plate by means of vacuum plating or laminating. Further, the present invention sets forth a method of manufacturing such material by placing a layer of thermally reflective metal on one surface of a strong flexible non-resilient thin plastic sheet, and placing a layer of fiber wadding on the opposite surface of the flexible thin plastic sheet. The layer of fiber wadding is needle punched, to force individual fibers through the thin plastic sheet and the layer of reflective metal, to produce the laminate, and to provide a fiber nap extending from the thin plastic metal. The layer of reflective metallic material may also be secured to the thin plastic substrate by vacuum plating or bunding prior to the application of the fiber wadding.
