In clothing lined with a new synthetic fabric New Zealand travellers will soon be able to fly from a warm climate to colder zones without a change in body temperature. The fabric is "milium” —impregnated with aluminium—which acts as an insulator deflecting the sun’s rays or retaining body heat. It will be introduced to this country by a Canadian textile firm. It can be used with any material from the heaviest taffeta to the softest crepe, according to Mr R. J. Bruck, the firm’s vice-president.
