Actually, there was a large thread previously but was lost with the hack. I'm glad I was able to read it and find the material.

Oh that's cool, I guess I just started thinking about doing this and I wasn't able to find a thread on the topic. Thanks again.

I know its way ghetto, but I went with pipe-insulator. It looks and feels like the name-brand matts...a closed cell foam, sticky on one side, foil on the other side. I also taped all edges with cold-weather, HVAC foil tape.
I've no way to compare this set up to any of the name-brand matts, but it made a *huge* difference! The only worry I have is if it will stay put in next summers heat.
As far as price...2 rolls insulator @ $17 and 1 roll HVAC tape @ $20.

We'll see what happens next summer!
