The material suggestions offered are from what has been used and our experiences. This niche application is still very new, and really the only things any of us can offer with any certainty has to do with thermal dynamics. Then what solutions work, which materials prove most effective and cost effective, only sharing of experiences will fill in the gaps in our collective knowledge.
Andrew,
You also bring up another important aspect to this discussion, and it is a very important one as it is one of the things this insulating wrap has as a spin off - dew control.
When offering up one's experience with this (and all other aspects of dew control), one must have in the forefront of one's argument the microclimate you are set up in. This has the one most important key to dew control - where you are set up will make the ultimate difference in whether you are dew-free, mildly affected or totally soaked right on sunset... AND this can vary with the seasons...
Andrew's experience of bugger all dew made me aware of this. It is important to recognize this and relay it as it can mean someone who reads this thread who does not understand dew and microclimate influence will see Andrew's post and adopt his solution only to encounter a world of pain from dew if their location is dew-central.
For me, my home has terrible dew. My dark site though has experienced dew four times in 10 years.
Keep in mind your dew situation.

) and fit the dew shield early. However Sydney is generally much more humid than Melbourne (and has almost double the average annual rainfall than Melbourne), so dew control would be more of an issue as you get further north.
.The neoprene foam dew shield will side easily over the top, thanks again for the great advice.
