I've wondered, but have not been geeky enough to experiment with, the Garlington insulator - surely a proto-NeoAir if there ever was one. Two trash bags, a poncho (if you already carry one, multi-use), and a couple cheap mylar blankets - light and cheaper than even a foam pad. Supposedly pretty darned effective.
