Abstract

The invention relates to a planar heat insulating device, in particular, an item of clothing or a cover for the human body, comprising a shell (2; 12), which is filled with a heat-insulating material (3, 13). The shell (2, 12) has at least one outlet (32) provided, by means of which a reduction of the gas volume in the thermal-insulating device is possible. The insulating power of the thermal-insulating device can thus be varied, in particular reduced, by, for example, a factor of 10, by means of a considerable volume reduction. An item of clothing can thus be produced which may have thermal-insulation properties, optimised to suit the wearers activities with differing levels of physical exertion.
