The thermal layer ensures enhanced insulation and moisture movement from the body. This snug-fitting layer should consist of fabrics that efficiently wick moisture away from the base layer, yet retain... body heat. Thermal layer fabrics should trap your body heat in small air pockets between the fibers – garments made of wool and synthetic materials are ideal. 1, record 1, English, - thermal%20layer

The layers break into three categories: base [layer], thermal [layer], and protective layer. These three layers work together to trap heat, wick moisture, breathe, block wind, and repel water. 1, record 1, English, - thermal%20layer

La couche thermique assure une isolation supplémentaire et un meilleur déplacement de l'humidité du corps vers l'extérieur. Cette couche devrait être composée d'un matériel qui est en mesure d'évacuer l'humidité provenant de la couche de base de façon efficace tout en conservant la chaleur du corps. Les matériels à privilégier sont la laine et les fibres synthétiques puisqu'ils emprisonnent la chaleur corporelle dans les petites poches d'air situées entre les fibres des tissus. 2, record 1, French, - couche%20thermique

The retrorocket module would then be jettisoned, exposing the heat shield at the base of the reentry module. Along with the ablative heat shield, thermal protection during reentry was provided by thin Rene 41 radiative shingles at the base of the module and beryllium shingles at the top. Beneath the shingles was a layer of MIN-K insulation and thermoflex blankets. 1, record 2, English, - radiative%20shingle

The Shell Fabric : Exterior is treated with a highly durable ultra thin coating which sheds water better than any known system. The woven fabric itself is a high count, double denier nylon, developed to withstand wind and rain. The interior is treated with Entrant's microporous waterproof, breathable composite. The insulation : A two layer, revolutionary laminate consisting of polyester, TEIJINCOMEX and wool. The first layer : Polyester and TEIJINCONEX; the TEIJINCOMEX, an aramid polyamide fiber with the supreme capabilities for heat retention while wicking and dispersing moisture; blended with polyester, supple enough to conform to the contour of the body while it creates dead air space. The second layer : A polyester and wool blend; providing warmth and furthering moisture dispersement. The Lining : Either aluminium coated mesh; reflecting body heat while remaining breathable. Or, brushed tricot; warm breathable and quick drying. 1, record 4, English, - thermoclad

L'enveloppe : l'extérieur est traité avec un enduit durable et extra fin qui protège de l'eau mieux que tout autre système connu. La matériau lui-même tissé, est un nylon multifibres double denier, crée pour résister au vent et à la pluie. L'intérieur est traité avec le composite ENTRANT microporeux, étanche qui respire. L'isolant : un laminé révolutionnaire en 2 couches, constitué de polyester, TEIJINCOMEX et laine. La 1ère couche : polyester et TEIJINCOMEX. Le TEIJINCOMEX, fibre polyamide aramide avec pouvoir maximal de rétention de chaleur et drainage et dispersion de l'humidité; mélangé au polyester, assez souple pour épouser les contours du corps humain et créer un espace d'air statique. La 2ème couche : un mélange de polyestar et de laine procurant chaleur et prolongeant la dispersion de l'humidité. La doublure : soit une maille enduite d'aluminium réfléchissant la chaleur du corps tout en respirant, soit un tricot peigné, chaud, qui respire et sèche vite. 1, record 4, French, - thermoclad
