  • Publication number: 20240110404
    Abstract: A lightweight heat reflective shield useful for hikers and campers to reflect heat from a campfire back toward themselves. The heat reflective shield includes a base panel and a concave body portion attached to and extending upward from the base panel and supported by at least two inflatable ribs. The concave body portion includes an open front face along a front edge of the base panel, an inner side, and an outer side, wherein at least a portion of the inner side includes a heat reflective material. When the inflatable ribs are filled with air, the heat reflective shield may accommodate a standing or seated person, and when positioned adjacent a heat source, the heat reflective material of the inner side reflects heat from the heat source back toward the heat source.
