Mylar is good. Have also seen 'glassine' mentioned.
Some book dealers offer a clear protective jacket for an extra $1 or so, but I don't recall which. If I find info, will post.

They can also be dyed in many different colours and combined with a range of other fibres such as rayon, cotton, wool, silk etc.
